She drove her leather jacket, effin' classic
Chevrolet with vanity plates
And she left me standing silent
On the corner of 16th & State
I was lost in my hometown
And I didn't know what I could do
I started to panic, effin' classic
You can see the lines on my face
There's gray in my hair
From the way that I stared off in space
I was lost in my hometown
And I didn't know what I could do
I'm on my own now
This town's different when it don't got you
I tried to be happy with you not around
But all of my smiles felt like repurposed frowns
It felt automatic, out of habit
The way that you told me farewell
You can leave with my heart
But don't keep that part to yourself
When you're lost in your hometown
That doesn't mean that things have changed
You're on your own now
This town's different but it all stayed the same
I tried to be happy with you not around
But all of my smiles felt like repurposed frowns
Lying back then feels like loving you now
Life is hard but it pays to go through it
Life is hard but it pays to go through
