(Tony Martin Mark Nesler)



That backward town in my review

Was gonna be my whole world

'Til my factory job got shipped to Mexico

And a city boy stole my sweet girl

I used to know everybody by name

Everybody's moved away

Can't say that I'm really wantin' to go

But I've run out of reasons to stay



This ain't nothing like what I

Had in mind for me

Then again my future

Ain't what it used to be



Well I thought like my dad and his daddy before

That I would die where I was born

Live a small town dream in a big backyard

Raisin' babies and corn

Now here I am one eye on the road

Tryin' to readin' a map on the dash

No where close to makin' up my mind

With a fork in the road comin' fast



This ain't nothing like what I

Had in mind for me

Then again my future

Ain't what it used to be



This ain't nothing like what I

Had in mind for me

Then again my future

Ain't what it used to be



That backward town in my review

Was gonna be my whole world
