This Town

This town's got one traffic light
A church and a school on the quietest night
There's a diner down the road that closed long ago
And all the shops in the square got nothing to show
This town's got no remorse
For a soul who's looking to step through the doors
A run down ranch that sits alone in a field
It calls my name and it dares me to feel
Let me fly
Let me be free
From sodden wheat fields and a hazy sun
From broken horses never born to run
This town's always waiting on a reason
From all the trains that never stop at the station
And the kids down the street with no expectations
This town's always waiting on a reason
To get up and go
To get up and go
To get up and go

This lonely drive gets old pretty fast
Walking down a block that's stuck in the past
It beats you up and it drags you down
Laughs in your face while it kicks you around
Everyday I look up to the sky
And I pray that I make it, out alive
Cause the silence might kill you if you stand too still
I don't want to be a void for time to fill
Let me fly
Let me be free
From sodden wheat fields and a hazy sun
From broken horses never born to run
This town's always waiting on a reason
From all the trains that never stop at the station
And the kids down the street with no expectations
This town's always waiting on a reason
To get up and go

Past the highway signs
Across county lines
I'd shed a tear, for the town that I knew
I've laid awake at night
Dreaming of those lights
And I don't need anymore of a reason
To get up and go
To get up and go
From all the trains that never stop at the station
And the kids down the street with no expectations
This town's always waiting on a reason
To get up and go
To get up and go
To get up and go
To get up and go
