Next Town Over

It ain't nothin' but a map dot

In a state that planes fly by

One bar, one church, one home team

Wrapped around one welcome sign

We talked about callin' it home

Planted some roots down of our own

Thought it'd all work out until it

Went south and now she's livin'

Somewhere in the next town over

Probably settled down, doin' better now

Where them stars burn a little slower

Bet she finally found a little solid ground

Oh, if I never let her leave

Oh, maybe then I wouldn't be on the

Wrong side of a county line

While she's somewhere in the next town over me

She wasn't lookin' in the rearview

Flyin' past that old water tower

And no amount of "it was meant to be"

Coulda stopped them goodbye tires

I let a good thing get away without me

And it's too late 'cause now she's

Somewhere in the next town over

Probably settled down, doin' better now

Where them stars burn a little slower

Bet she finally found a little solid ground

Oh, if I never let her leave

Oh, maybe then I wouldn't be on the

Wrong side of a county line

While she's somewhere in the next town over me

Over us, over all it ever was

Everything we felt, every memory

And I'm goin' through hell 'cause she's only

Somewhere in the next town over

Probably settled down, doin' better now

Where them stars burn a little slower

Bet she finally found a little solid ground

Oh, if I never let her leave

Oh, maybe then I wouldn't be on the

Wrong side of a county line

While she's somewhere in the next town over me

(Over us, over all it ever was)

Somewhere in the next town over me

(Everything we felt, every memory)

Somewhere in the next town over me
