The Place I'm From

When you hear our song on the radio now Do you ask your new boy to turn it down? Or do you sit through the whole damn song Three minutes-thirty seconds of wonderin' where I've gone I'm on the run Some place you'd never find me if you tried You found someone But I wonder if I ever cross your mind But you aint from the place I'm from I don't expect you to know how the pine trees whisper They're telling secrets in the wind And in the light of summertime and in the darkness of the winter comin' down I won't ever forget about you Believe me I wish that was something I could do I've built my life to be a little more like the one you wanted back when you were mine I cross my T's and dot my I's and even found the Lord on my own time But that ain't enough to bring back things that just weren't meant to be And we called it love But the truth is love was so far out of reach Cause you ain't from the place I'm from I don't expect you to know where the grass is greener It only grows if you water it And in the light of summertime And in the darkness of the winter comin' down I won't ever forget about you Believe me I wish that was something I could do When you hear our song on the radio now Do you ask your new boy to turn it down? Or do you sit through the whole damn song Three minutes-thirty seconds of wonderin' where I've gone
