The Girl I Left Behind

It ain't much different out here I found
It's just, different names for the same old hillbilly towns
Welcome signs full of shotgun holes
Familiar faces and the same old roads

Every cafe, corner, diner, it's the same old story, some old timer
Run down tavern on a dim lit street
I see my old friends in every body I meet
But the only thing misssin'
I can't seem to find
Is the girl I left behind

There's been a few that've caught me a little off guard
I try to fool myself, but I just can't fool my heart
Every pretty green eyed girl I see
Gets me further away from where I wanna be

Summer time tailgate road side stands
Sellin' home grown tomatos and strawberry jam
Little white churches and country stores
Every town's just like the one before
The only thing missin' that I can't seem to find
Is the girl I left behind me standin' on her momma's front porch
Waivin' through the black smoke rollin' out of that old ford
Took me to some backwards town wishin' I had you
But you're no where to be found

Every cafe, corner, diner, it's the same old story, some old timer
Run down tavern on a dim lit street
I see my old friends in every body I meet
Summer time tailgate road side stands
Sellin' home grown tomatos and strawberry jam
Little white churches and country stores
Every town's just like the one before
The only thing missin' that I can't seem to find
Yeah the only thing missin' that I can't seem to find
Is the girl I left behind!
