When you find you can't somehow make it like all the rest
Won't need to scrounge around for someone else
Torn between the unknown and the place that you call home
And the life you want but have never known
There was a time you could put it out of your mind
Leave it all behind
There was a time, that time is gone
What has a life of fifty years in this town done for you
Except to earn your name and place on a barstool
You've spent your whole life in this county
You've never been out of state
You say you're gonna make it out before it's too late
There was a time you could put it out of your mind
Leave it all behind
There was a time, that time is gone
There was a time when nothing seemed
To make much sense, that's turned more intense
And all the crutches you've kept around
Now are nowhere to be found
Remember when you didn't have to look ahead or behind you
There was always something right there to do
But now it's life in some kind of trap, looking for a way out
Well, you keep moving on, that's what it's all about
There was a time you could put it out of your mind
Leave it all behind
There was a time, that time is gone
