I use to run from the past
But the world got to spinnin' so fast
I run from the future now
I run as fast as I can
Tryin' to be a simple man
I just want to slow down
Well, laugh if you want to
Call me a backward fool
But I ain't takin' this ride
Y'all just go on ahead and go
Let me out by the side of the road
All I wanna do is go on home
Don't go online, I don't watch TV
'Cause I know all I'm gonna see
Is something stupid goin' on
Stupids in the water these days
They're gonna drink it anyway
'Til they don't know right from wrong
Yeah, laugh if you want to
Call me a backward fool
But I ain't takin' this ride
Y'all just go on ahead and go
Let me out by the side of the road
All I wanna do is go on home
Yeah, all I wanna do is go on home
