lyrics

I heard that you might be comin back to town
I’m not sure I’m ready to have you back around
But if there’s one thing I know is true
You’re never quite ready for a girl like you

We had plans we were gonna travel this land
But they weren’t etched in stone, they were carved in the sand
And then one morning the tide came in
And I never did see you again

I never thought I would be that hometown kid
That dreamed about busting out, but never did
But here I am, thirty five
Spend every damn night in this same old dive, oh no

There are some revelations
That we gotta have over and over
Cause those dark and lonely places
They’ll lure you in with the flicker of the neon light

Maybe it’s not too late for this man of the world
I could learn a thing or two from that long gone girl
So tonight as the tide rolls out
I’ll be looking back on this old town

There are some revelations
That we gotta have over and over
Cause those dark and lonely places
They’ll lure you in with the flicker of the neon light
