Paragraph Lyric
That backwood town in my rear view
Was gonna be my whole world
Till my factory job got shipped to Mexico
An' my farm boy chased a city girl

I used to know everybody by name
But 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 I had in mind for me
But then again, the future
Ain't what it used to be

I thought like my mom and her momma before
That I would die where I was born
Live a small town dream in a big backyard
Raisin' babies an' corn

Now here I am, one I amu row
Tryin' the read the map on the dash
Nowhere close to makin' up my mind
With a fork in the road comin' fast

This ain't nothin' like
What I had in mind for me
But then again, the future
Ain't what it used to be

No, this ain't nothin' like
What I had in mind for me
But then again, the future now
Ain't what it used to be

That backwood town in my rear view
Was gonna be my whole world
That backwood town in my rear view   Was gonna be my whole world   Till my factory job got shipped to Mexico   An' my farm boy chased a city girl      I used to know everybody by name   But 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 I had in mind for me   But then again, the future   Ain't what it used to be      I thought like my mom and her momma before   That I would die where I was born   Live a small town dream in a big backyard   Raisin' babies an' corn      Now here I am, one I amu row   Tryin' the read the map on the dash   Nowhere close to makin' up my mind   With a fork in the road comin' fast      This ain't nothin' like   What I had in mind for me   But then again, the future   Ain't what it used to be      No, this ain't nothin' like   What I had in mind for me   But then again, the future now   Ain't what it used to be      That backwood town in my rear view   Was gonna be my whole world
