Clean Slate
Every corner in this town I pass by
Reminds me of the things I didn't do right
And the streetlamps, well, they shine down so bright
Like a runway headed for a brand new life
In this new place I bet they don't know her name
And it still takes my breath to hear her new flame
And this new zip code, I won't make a grapevine cut
How my hairs to long or that I drink too much
Cause I want out of this small town
Start a brand new clean slate
Instead of trying to find an empty spot of mind
Scratch on another mistake
It's filled with lots of
Memories I can't live down
I think its time for me to move around
I want out of this small town
Reckon I'll head out quick and I won't look back
Find a dead end job just to pay for my little shack
Maybe Lubbock, Stillwater, OKC
It don't make a damn bit of difference to me
Cause I want out of this small town
Start a brand new clean slate
Instead of trying to find an empty spot of mind
Scratch on another mistake
It's filled with lots of
Memories I can't live down
I think its time for me to move around
Maybe I'm leavin' for the wrong reasons
I need a change
Don't you dare stand in my way
Cause I want out of this small town
Start a brand new clean slate
Instead of trying to find an empty spot of mind
Scratch on another mistake
It's filled with lots of
Memories I can't live down
I think its time for me to move around
I want out of this small town
Reminds me of the things I didn't do right
And the streetlamps, well, they shine down so bright
Like a runway headed for a brand new life
In this new place I bet they don't know her name
And it still takes my breath to hear her new flame
And this new zip code, I won't make a grapevine cut
How my hairs to long or that I drink too much
Cause I want out of this small town
Start a brand new clean slate
Instead of trying to find an empty spot of mind
Scratch on another mistake
It's filled with lots of
Memories I can't live down
I think its time for me to move around
I want out of this small town
Reckon I'll head out quick and I won't look back
Find a dead end job just to pay for my little shack
Maybe Lubbock, Stillwater, OKC
It don't make a damn bit of difference to me
Cause I want out of this small town
Start a brand new clean slate
Instead of trying to find an empty spot of mind
Scratch on another mistake
It's filled with lots of
Memories I can't live down
I think its time for me to move around
Maybe I'm leavin' for the wrong reasons
I need a change
Don't you dare stand in my way
Cause I want out of this small town
Start a brand new clean slate
Instead of trying to find an empty spot of mind
Scratch on another mistake
It's filled with lots of
Memories I can't live down
I think its time for me to move around
I want out of this small town
