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
