Never Left Me

[Verse 1] I remember loading up my truck Everybody there wishing me luck Thought I put all I knew and you in the rearview I talked to Mama last night on the phone She asked about me coming back home Told her how you tagged along and you're pretty much here too [Chorus] Everybody wonders where I’m from 'Cause they know I ain't from here It’s the way I talk, it's the way I walk It's the way I hold my beer All the red-letter common sense simple man That I wear out on my sleeve Makes it clear that my hometown is who I'll always be Yeah, I left you, but you never left me [Verse 2] A lead foot in a rat race suit Ain't ever gonna fit my roots Too much Sunday drive in these boots to go there I tried to pretty up, I tried to city up But the truth in my heart always hits me up Reminds who I am and to wear it like a brand So I do and I don't care [Chorus] Everybody wonders where I'm from 'Cause they know I ain’t from here It’s the way I talk, it's the way I walk It’s the way I hold my beer All the red-letter common sense simple man That I wear out on my sleeve Makes it clear that my hometown is who I'll always be Yeah, I left you, but you never left me [Bridge] I still bleed red, white, and blue And I still make handshake deals And I'll never stop praying or two-finger waving from the steering wheel [Chorus] Everybody wonders where I'm from ’Cause they know I ain't from here It's the way I talk, it's the way I walk It's the way I hold my beer All the red-letter common sense simple man That I wear out on my sleeve Makes it clear that my hometown is who I'll always be Yeah, I left you, but you never left me [Outro] Mm, never left me
