Why I Can't Leave

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 seventh grade And I can't blame you for the way God made you You need more skyline than 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 And that's just the way it's gotta be Yeah, the main street's slow like them old tractor tires 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 We had a good run under that southern sun, didn't we? And you can call me up, and I'll 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 Where the main street's slow like them old tractor tires 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 Yeah, the main street's slow like them old tractor tires Little rough around the edges like that rusty barbed wire Baby, I know that ain't your speed That's why your daddy's out there loading up your Jeep Yeah, them Friday night lights ain't your kinda shine Wish I could, but I can't say it 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
