same saturday night, same ol’ crowd
draggin’ min to teh safeway then turn back around
’til curfew and then head down
to the river’s edge and get drunk
ain’t nothing new, what else you gonna do out in Podunk
well i knoew this six-string was my ticket out
No flashin’ red light was gonna slow mw down
18 years old everything that i owned in the back of that truck
I put a dip in my mouth and i headed straight out outta Podunk
(1st chorus)
Goodbye, daddy looked me in the eye said go
where you gotta go
but don’t forget to call home
and momma craied keep jesus in your life
and i hugged her once last time
and then i headed down the road in a dusty clud of smoke
out of podunk
A lot of years gone by showin’ on my face
nothing in this life taht tie hasn’t changed
i chased a lot of dreams and some of them came true
ain’t it funny how the very place i ran from
is the place i’m runnin’ to
another saturday night singin’ to the same ol’ crowd
still playin’ this six-string but things are different now
i met one of them girls turn our whole world around girls
and wouldn’t you know it
we got our eyes on a house ’bout a hundred miles south
out in podunk
(2nd chorus)
Goodbye, her daddy looked me in the eye
and said go where you gotta go where you gotta go son
but don’t forget to call home
and her momma cried said keep jesus in your life
and we hugged her one last time
then we headed down that road to start a family of our own
out in podunk
