Looking for a Way Out

[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
