Out in the country the road meets the sky
I see the driveway on the left hand side
All the old pictures are hung on display
Makes me wonder what if i stayed
You always told me that you wanted me to go far
Watching me leave I know that it breaks your heart
I’m getting older but we will stay young in my mind
I’m going places but I’ll never leave you behind
Out at the courthouse I’m holding your hand
I’ll always be your young, country man
I may make promises but I will never make plans
And if I hurt you I hope that you will understand
Speak of the devil and then you walked into my life
I’m going places but I’ll never leave you behind
Now that I’m older and seen what you saw
A thousand excuses and I’ve heard them all
And if I leave you know that you’ll always be mine
Wish I could be theres but theres always mountains to climb
Go see the ocean and I will return here in time
I’m going places but I’ll never leave you behind
I’m going places but I’ll never leave you behind
