[00:12.17]I packed it all on a whim
[00:15.04]Threw an old Hank cassete tape in
[00:18.11]Dad's '84 rusty ford
[00:20.83]He swore we'd never make it
[00:24.12]I quit my job, let my momma down
[00:26.83]Broke an angel's heart on the way out of town
[00:32.32]Pulled my roots from the ground for
[00:35.90]The hum of
[00:38.63]wheels on the blacktop
[00:41.88]The strum of
[00:44.53]strings on a flattop
[00:47.68]It's a neon fever for a small town dreamer
[00:53.57]Tells you everything you have that's worth losing
[00:58.00]Damn country music
[01:01.63]
[01:05.62]You might get lost in the lights
[01:08.75]The things that keep you up all night
[01:11.76]Whiskey straight 3 am
[01:14.31]Chasing songs in your head
[01:17.48]It's the sweetest highs the lowest lows
[01:20.39]It's needing yes and hearing no
[01:23.27]Just another soul sold
[01:26.62]Believe me I know
[01:28.75]It's the hum of
[01:32.61]Wheels on the blacktop
[01:35.37]The strum of
[01:38.32]strings on a flattop
[01:41.33]It'll take you, break you
[01:44.15]Damn sure make you do things
[01:48.36]You never thought you'd be doing
[01:51.88]Damn country music
[01:54.80]
[02:05.04]When the money the fame
[02:07.73]The lights on your name
[02:10.84]All fade away
[02:13.72]Well you'll still be a slave to
[02:17.15]The hum of
[02:19.65]wheels on the blacktop
[02:23.00]The strum of
[02:25.56]strings on a flattop
[02:28.75]It's a neon fever for a small town dreamer
[02:33.21]Tells you everything you have that's worth losing
[02:39.25]Damn country music
[02:45.50]Damn country music
