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 for the shotgun homes Familar faces in the same old rows With every cafe corner diner It's the same old story to some old timer Rundown tavern on a dim lit street I'd see my old friends in everybody i'd meet The only thing missin' that I can't seem to find Is the girl I left behind There's been a few that have 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 want to be Summertime tailgate, road-side stands Sellin' home grown 'matoes 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 Wavin' through the black smoke rollin' outta that old ford Take me to some backwads town Wishin' I had you But you're nowhere to be found With every cafe corner diner It's the same old story to some old timer Rundown tavern on a dim lit street I'd see my old friends in everybody i meet Summertime tailgate, road-side stands Sellin' home grown 'matoes 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
