Get Outta Here

I was born in a small town
Down in the country
I haven't been around
Never seen the city
Why would I? I'm doing just fine here

Old Luke the farmer
He's lived here all his life
He got me in the corner
Wanted to give some advice
He said son "you better listen when I tell you

You gotta get outta here, kid
You gotta meet someone, son
There's more to enjoy, boy
There's so much more than here
You gotta get outta here"

When you leave, go on, and walk along these tracks
Yes when you leave, oh son, I know you won't look back

Well I know I'm right to stay here singing the blues
Besides between the work and the bar fights
I ain't got time I'm making it move
So I won't listen to whoever tells me

You gotta get outta here, kid
You ain't seen nothing, son
Find some new soil, boy
You don't wanna die here
You gotta get outta here

I saw ole Luke the other day
Was looking pretty ill
He still begged me to get away
I guess he'll die on that hill

I told him old man "don't waste your last breath on me
I'll never get outta here
I'm staying right here
I won't get outta here
All I know is here
I'll never get outta here"

But if you leave tomorrow and walk along these tracks
Oh if you leave you know you won't ever look back
