One-Way Town

A driving, anthemic song about the desperation to leave a small town that's full of dead ends. It's not a "I love this town" song; it's a "I love it, but it's killing me" song. It's the anthem for anyone saving up tips to buy a one-way ticket.
[VERSE 1] Same four stoplights, same glory days Same old stories, same old ways I'm servin' up beers to the high school king He's still talkin' 'bout that state championship ring My boss says I'm lucky to be workin' at all While I'm starin' at a crack in the bathroom-stall wall [PRE-CHORUS] I love this county, I love this dirt But this "no-name" comfort is a "slow-burn" hurt [CHORUS] I'm savin' my tips in a boot-box, I'm sellin' my TV I'm buyin' a one-way ticket to a place I've never seen This town is a circle, it's a beautiful cage And I'm tearin' my own story right out of the page I'm gonna be the one that they talk about The one that they all said "I can't believe she got out" [VERSE 2] My mama's cryin', says "don't you go" My daddy's quiet, but he whispers "I know" He had the same dream 'fore he met my mom Settled down, got a job, and the dream was gone I'm not gonna be him, I'm not gonna rust It's the skyline or bust [PRE-CHORUS] I love this county, I love this dirt But this "no-name" comfort is a "slow-burn" hurt [CHORUS] I'm savin' my tips in a boot-box, I'm sellin' my TV I'm buyin' a one-way ticket to a place I've never seen This town is a circle, it's a beautiful cage And I'm tearin' my own story right out of the page I'm gonna be the one that they talk about The one that they all said "I can't believe she got out" [BRIDGE] I'll miss the sunsets, I'll miss the rain But I'd miss myself more if I stayed the same Gotta go, gotta run, gotta see what's out there With a full tank of gas and a "Dear John" prayer [CHORUS] I'm savin' my tips in a boot-box, I'm sellin' my TV I'm buyin' a one-way ticket to a place I've never seen This town is a circle, it's a beautiful cage And I'm tearin' my own story right out of the page I'm gonna be the one that they talk about The one that they all said "I can't believe she got out" [OUTRO] Yeah, I'm gettin' out. Just watch me. One-way.
