I know all the ghosts that walk these streets
People die, babies cry, and never leave
No one wants these gravel roads to end
There's a train every 2: 15
That always was and always gonna be
Daughters to mothers,
Daughters to mothers,
Daughters to mothers, again
It's so hard to leave my hometown world
I try to be a hometown girl
But in a car
in the high school parking lot,
I know I'm not.
In the crowd on graduation day
You can see the ones that wish they got away
One on the hip, one on the way
But way back here is branded on my heart
I wish so bad I could play the part
It's where I am in my glory days
It's so hard to leave my hometown world
I try to be a hometown girl
But in a car
in the high school parking lot,
I know I'm not.
It's holding on to me and all my doubts
Now it's when I stay or I get out
There's a train every 2: 15
It's so hard to leave my hometown world
I try to be a hometown girl
But in a car
in the high school parking lot,
I know, just gotta go can't turn around,
I'm not.
