Rearview Town

 Wipe the footprints off my dash
 Tore up those sun-faded photographs
 Threw 'em in the wind, y'all can have it back
 I'm outta here
 I stuck my middle finger up in the sky
 Flipped off that "y'all come back" sign
 Looked in the mirror one last time
 And watched it disappear
 It ain't nothin' but a rearview town
 Broken hearts and rusted plows
 Roots ripped right up out of the ground
 Never thought I'd ever leave it
 It ain't nothin' what it used to be
 Population minus me
 On the other side of that dust cloud
 Ain't nothin' but a rearview town
 I could tough it out, but what's the use?
 A place that small, it's hard to do
 Too much of her to run into
 And so much road to somewhere new
 It ain't nothin' but a rearview town
 Broken hearts and rusted plows
 Roots ripped right up out of the ground
 Never thought I'd ever leave it
 It ain't nothin' what it used to be
 Population minus me
 On the other side of that dust cloud
 Ain't nothin' but a rearview town
 It ain't nothin' but yesterday
 One less truck rollin' down Main
 Ain't nothin' left to say
 No, it ain't nothin' what it used to be
 Population minus me
 On the other side of that dust cloud
 Ain't nothin' but a rearview town
 Ain't nothin' but a rearview town
