[Verse 1]
When you find you can somehow make it like all the rest
You won't need to scrounge around for someone else
Torn between the unknown and the place that you call home
And the life you want but have never known
[Chorus]
There was a time
Could put it out of your mind
Leave it all behind
There was a time
That time is gone
[Verse 2]
What has life fifty years in this town done for you
Except to earn your name a place on a barstool?
You spent your whole life in this county, you've never been out of state
You say you're gonna make it out before it's too late
[Chorus]
There was a time
Could put it out of your mind
Leave it all behind
There was a time
That time is gone
[Bridge]
There was a time when nothing seemed to make much sense
That's turned more intense
And all the crutches you kept around
Now are nowhere to be found
[Verse 3]
Remember when you didn't have to look ahead or behind you
There was always something right there to do
But now it's life in some kind of trap looking for a way out
You keep moving on, that's what it's all about
[Chorus]
There was a time
Could put it out of your mind
Leave it all behind
There was a time
That time is gone
