"Next Town Over" lyrics

"Next Town Over"

It ain't nothin' but a map dot
In a state that planes fly by
One bar, one church, one home team
Wrapped around one welcome sign
We talked about callin' it home
Planted some roots down of our own
Thought it'd all work out until it
Went south and now she's livin'

Somewhere in the next town over
Probably settled down, doin' better now
Where them stars burn a little slower
Bet she finally found a little solid ground
Oh, if I never let her leave
Oh, maybe then I wouldn't be on the
Wrong side of a county line
While she's somewhere in the next town over me

She wasn't lookin' in the rearview
Flyin' past that old water tower
And no amount of "it was meant to be"
Coulda stopped them goodbye tires
I let a good thing get away without me
And it's too late 'cause now she's

Somewhere in the next town over
Probably settled down, doin' better now
Where them stars burn a little slower
Bet she finally found a little solid ground
Oh, if I never let her leave
Oh, maybe then I wouldn't be on the
Wrong side of a county line
While she's somewhere in the next town over me

Over us, over all it ever was
Everything we felt, every memory
And I'm goin' through hell 'cause she's only

Somewhere in the next town over
Probably settled down, doin' better now
Where them stars burn a little slower
Bet she finally found a little solid ground
Oh, if I never let her leave
Oh, maybe then I wouldn't be on the
Wrong side of a county line
While she's somewhere in the next town over me

(Over us, over all it ever was)
Somewhere in the next town over me
(Everything we felt, every memory)
Somewhere in the next town over me
