Rearview Town

Wiped the footprints off my dash

Tore up those sun-faded photographs

Threw 'em in the wind, y'all can have her back

I'm outta here

I stuck my middle finger up in the sky

Flipped off that "y'all come back" sign

Looked in the mirror one last time

And watched it disappear

It ain't nothing but a rearview town

Broken hearts and rusted plows

Roots ripped right up out of the ground

Never thought I'd ever leave it

It ain't nothing what it used to be

Population, minus me

On the other side of that dust cloud

Ain't nothing but a rearview town

I could tough it out, but what's the use?

A place that small, it's hard to do

Too much of her to run into

And so much road to somewhere new

It ain't nothing but a rearview town

Broken hearts and rusted plows

Roots ripped right up out of the ground

Never thought I'd ever leave it

It ain't nothing what it used to be

Population, minus me

On the other side of that dust cloud

Ain't nothing but a rearview town

It ain't nothing but a yesterday

One less truck rollin' down Main

Ain't nothing left to say

No, it ain't nothing what it used to be

Population, minus me

On the other side of that dust cloud

Ain't nothing but a rearview town

Ain't nothing but a rearview town
