作曲 : Martin, Nesler That backward town in my rearview Was gonna be my whole world Till my factory job got shipped to MexicoAnd 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 IHad in mind for me But 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 small town dream in a big backyard Raisin' babies and corn Now here I am, one eye on the road Tryin' to read a map on the dash Nowhere close to making up my mind With a fork in the road comin' fast This ain't nothing like what IHad in mind for me Then again my future Ain't what it used to be This ain't nothing like what IHad in mind for me Then again my future Ain't what it used to be That backward town in my rearview Was gonna be my whole world
