Why I Can’t Leave

[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 7th grade And I can't blame you For the way God made you You need more skyline in 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 That's just the way it's gotta be [Chorus] Yeah the Main Street's slow like they all tracked the tyres 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 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 they all tracked the tyres 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 Oh oh oh Yeah that's why I can't leave [Chorus] Yeah the Main Street's slow like they all tracked the tyres Little rough around the edges like that rusty barbed wire Baby I know that ain't your speed That’s why your dad is out there loading up your Jeep Yeah them Friday night lights ain't your kinda shine Wish I could but I can't say that 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
