nd fret Intro: (2x) That backward town, in my rearview Was gonna be my whole world Til my factory job, got shipped to Mexico And a city boy stole my sweet girl I used to know everybody by name Everybody's moved away Can't say that I'm really wantin' to go But I've run out of reasons to stay This ain't nothin' like what I, had in mind for me Then again my future, Ain't what it used to be Well I thought like my dad, and his daddy before That I would die where I was born Live a smalltown dream in a big backyard Raisin' babies and corn Now here I am, one eye on the road Tryin' to read the map on the dash Nowhere close to making up my mind With a fork in the road comin' fast (chorus 2x) (one strum) That backward town, in my rear view (pick) Was gonna be my whole world Outro: (play to fade)
