Lyrics

[Verse 1] You never did care too much for this two lane town, did you, babe? You've been talking 'bout getting out, chasing them dreams down since seventh grade And I can't blame you for the way God made you You need more skyline than a water tower with your name on it And I need more Chevrolet with a little bit of red dirt clay on it And that's just you and that's just me And that's just the way it's gotta be [Chorus] Yeah, the main street's slow like them old tractor tires Little rough around the edges like that rusty barbed wire Baby, I know that ain't your speed That's why you can't stay, that's why I can't leave You need more stations on your radio Them kind of places where the corn don't grow Baby, I love you, but we both got dreams That's why you can't stay, that's why I can't leave [Verse 2] We had a good run under that Southern sun, didn't we? And you can call me up, and I'll fill you in if you're missing this town and me I need a front porch view, but you need a balcony and No matter what, you know where I'll be [Chorus] Where the main street's slow like them old tractor tires Little rough around the edges like that rusty barbed wire Baby, I know that ain't your speed That's why you can't stay, that's why I can't leave You need more stations on your radio Them kind of places where the corn don't grow Baby, I love you, but we both got dreams That's why you can't stay, that's why I can't leave [Post-Chorus] Oh, oh, oh Yeah, that's why I can't leave [Outro] Yeah, the main street's slow like them old tractor tires Little rough around the edges like that rusty barbed wire Baby, I know that ain't your speed That's why your daddy's out there loading up your Jeep Yeah, them Friday night lights ain't your kinda shine Wish I could, but I can't say it ain't mine Little town like this, what you get is what you see That's why you can't stay, that's why I can't leave No, I can't leave
