Podunk |
Same Saturday night |
Same ol' crowd |
Draggin' Main to the Safeway |
Then we turn back around |
'Til curfew then head |
Down to the river’s edge and get drunk |
Ain’t nothing new what else |
You gonna do out in Podunk |
Well |
I knew this six-string was my ticket out |
No flashing red light was gonna slow me down |
18 years old |
Everything that I owned in the back of that truck |
I put a dip in my mouth |
And I headed straight out outta Podunk |
Goodbye |
Daddy looked me in the eye, said |
«Go where you gotta go |
But don’t forget to call home.» |
And Momma cried |
«Keep Jesus in your life» |
And I hugged her one last time |
And then I headed down the road |
In a dusty cloud of smoke |
Out of Podunk |
A lot of years gone |
By showing on my face |
Nothing in this life that time hasn’t changed |
I chased a lot of dreams |
And some of them came true |
Ain’t it funny how the very place |
I ran from is the place |
I’m runnin' to |
Another Saturday night |
Singing to the same ol' crowd |
Still playing this six-string |
But things are different now |
I met one of those girls |
Turn your whole world around girls |
And wouldn’t you know it |
We got our eyes on a house 'bout a hundred miles south |
Out in Podunk |
Goodbye |
Her daddy looked me in the eye |
And said, «Go where you gotta go, son |
But don’t forget to call home.» |
And her momma cried, said |
«Keep Jesus in your life» |
And we hugged her one last time |
Then we headed down the road |
To start a family of our own |
Out in Podunk |
