Yeah no one ever leaves this town

At least that's what I've been told

Your roots are in this ground

This is where you're supposed to get old

It ain't far from the fast ol' four lane and we

Both made our jokes

About making a break for it one day

But I never had the guts to go

I remember last December

Standing on the edge of town

Watching that north wind carry you out

With all of my dreams I still can't believe

Driving these streets and looking around

I thought nobody left this town

You were always the bright

Light kind who found a way to get away

You never said what you were hoping to find

So I tell myself you needed some space

It wasn't me and it wasn't this place

I remember last December

Standing on the edge of town

Watching that north wind carry you out

With all of my dreams

I still can't believe

Driving these streets and looking around

I thought nobody left this town

Yeah I remember that cold December

Standing on the edge of town

Watching that north wind carry you out

With all of my dreams

I still can't believe

Driving these streets and looking around

I thought nobody left this town

I thought nobody left this town

Ever left this town

Yeah no one ever leaves this town

At least that's what I've been told
