Small Town Goodbye

### Lyrics for "Small Town Goodbye" **Intro** *(Soft acoustic guitar fade-in with ambient small-town sounds (crickets, truck engine))* **Verse 1** Grew up on these dirt roads, chasin' fireflies at night Friday lights and first loves, felt like everything was right But you left me standin' here, with a heart full of why Packin' up my memories, under this big ol' sky **Chorus** Small town goodbye, I'm hittin' the highway Leavin' the hurt in the rearview today Got my boots on the dash, radio blastin' loud No more tears for what was, I'm chasin' clouds Yeah, small town goodbye, hello to the new me Runnin' free, yeah, finally free **Verse 2** Mama said it'd get better, daddy handed me the keys Said life's too short for regrets, go find your own kinda peace From the corner bar to city lights, I'm tradin' in my blues For a shot of somethin' stronger, and a whole new view **Chorus** Small town goodbye, I'm hittin' the highway Leavin' the hurt in the rearview today Got my boots on the dash, radio blastin' loud No more tears for what was, I'm chasin' clouds Yeah, small town goodbye, hello to the new me Runnin' free, yeah, finally free **Bridge** One last look in the mirror, at the girl I used to be Whiskey whispers goodbye, as I turn the key No turnin' back now, the open road's callin' This heart's healin', no more stallin' **Final Chorus** Small town goodbye, I'm hittin' the highway Leavin' the hurt in the rearview today Got my boots on the dash, radio blastin' loud No more tears for what was, I'm chasin' clouds Yeah, small town goodbye, hello to the new me Runnin' free, yeah, finally free Small town goodbye... (fade out with echoes) **Outro** *(Instrumental fade with building guitar riff and distant highway sounds)*
