Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lately, I've been dreaming of a house out in the woods
With a big backyard, my dog, and my lover
Gave Nashville a chance and made it farther than they thought I would
But it doesn't mean I should hang 'round and suffer
This world on fire still has good to discover
[Chorus]
I wouldn't miss the traffic or the runaway trains
And the Proud Boys and their women just make me feel out of place
Oh, but I'd miss the birds and the music that they make
But even they know when to fly away
I think it's time to fly away
[Verse 2]
Dusty Silverado, take me to another place
This town has a way to leave you wanting
For all its brand-new buildings and its heroes on parade
This town still isn't big enough to love me
And I'm still too damn proud to beg for company
[Chorus]
I wouldn't miss the traffic or the runaway trains
And the Proud Boys and their women just make me feel out of place
Oh, but I'd miss the birds and the music that they make
But even they know when to fly away
I think it's time to fly away
[Bridge]
I think it's time to make a change
Think it's time to make a change
Spread my wings and drift away
I think I finally learned that you can't get back the years
But you can always come back to the place
[Outro]
I wouldn't miss the traffic or the runaway trains
And the Proud Boys and their women just make me feel out of place
Oh, but I'd miss the birds and the music that they make
And the feel of the earth beneath my feet in early May
And the magnolia leaves as they fall out of place
Even they know when to fly away
Oh, I think it's time to fly away
