Exit 52

that quick stop still needs a fresh coat of paint

There’s that go big red on the sign at the bank

Where them blue light boys park under the bridge

Speeds 35 don’t you go 36

Same CSX trains on rusted out tracks

That little white church flying that American flag

And the more I look around

The more it feels the same

But it ain’t

And to think I thought it’d be where we’d settle down

Spread some roots around

But sometimes small town dreams

Don’t always work out

Don’t I know it now

And this highway winds like wheels in my mind

Like a two lane back to a place in a time

where home was me and you

But now I’m passing through

And It’s just exit 52

I roll down the window and I let the breeze in

 and I still smell that honey suckle sweet on your skin

And I’m back on that bank

Levi’s on the shore

Never wanted it to end

Never wanted nothing more

And to think I thought it’d be where we’d settle down

Spread some roots around

But sometimes small town dreams

Don’t always work out

Don’t I know it now

And this highway winds like wheels in my mind

Like a two lane back to a place in a time

where home was me and you

but now I’m passing through

and it’s just Exit 52

And if I’m anywhere else

I ain’t thinking much about you

But this county road I’m on

So many memories in the rearview

And to think I thought it’d be

Where we’d settle down

yeah to think I thought it’d be

where we’d settle down

but this highway winds like wheels in my mind

Like a two lane back to a place in a time

where home was me and you

but now I’m passing through

and it’s just Exit 52

Oooh

It’s just Exit 52

Oooh

It’s just Exit 52
