"The Place I'm From" lyrics

When you hear our song on the radio now
Do you ask your new boy to turn it down?
Or do you sit through the whole damn song
Three minutes, thirty seconds of wonderin' where I've gone?

I'm on the run
Some place you'd never find me if you tried
And you found someone
But I wonder if I ever cross your mind?

But you ain't from the place I'm from
I don't expect you to know how the pine trees whisper
They're tellin' secrets in the wind
And in the light of summertime
And in the darkness of the winter comin' down
I won't ever forget about you
Believe me, I wish that was somethin' I could do

I've built my life to be a little more like
The one you wanted back when you were mine
I cross my T's and dot my I's
And even found the Lord on my own time

But that ain't enough
To bring back things that just weren't meant to be
And we called it love
But the truth is, love was so far out of reach

'Cause you ain't from the place I'm from
I don't expect you to know where the grass is greener
It only grows if you water it
And in the light of summertime
And in the darkness of the winter comin' down
I won't ever forget about you
Believe me, I wish that was somethin' I could do

When you hear our song on the radio now
Do you ask your new boy to turn it down?
Or do you sit through the whole damn song
Three minutes, thirty seconds of wonderin' where I've gone?
