She said, California, as a tear fell down her cheek

Small town Missouri just ain't the life for me.

Waved goodbye to dad, mom and and all her friends

In that '97 Mustang, that we both lost it in I can't recall the day finally I'd had enough

Chasing my father's dream and never of growing up

I turned in that uniform before I ever played a game

With a junior college scholarship in a white trash town upstate

You never know which way the road is gonna go when it bends

And all I know is what I'd give today to feel that way again, yeah

I made the most of no degree here selling cars

the Westside On of St. Louis where most the rich folks are

From time to time I hear about some star metyou

And just how close you've come but haven't made it yet

It gets me thinking 'bout the way it was and all we could've been

Wondering if you ever wish you could feel that way again, oh, and way feel that again

You never know which way the road is gonna go when it bends

all I And know is what I'd give today to feel that way again

I cannot lie sometimes when I come back to town

I head the out river to and roll the windows down

Listen to that Mississippi running through the night

Let it wash away the years and bring you back here by my side

it Let wash away the years bring and you back here by my side Again, feel that way again
