Same Saturday night, same ol´ crowd
Daggin´ main to the safeway then turn back around
´Til curfew and then head down to the river´s edge and get drunk
Ain´t nothin´ new, what else you gotta do out in podunk
Well I knew this six-string was my ticket out
No flashin´ red light was gonna slow me down
18 years old everything than I owned in the back of that truck
I put a dip in my mouth and I headed straight out outta podunk

Goodbye, daddy looked me in the eye said go where you gotta go
But don´t forget to call home
And momma cried keep Jesus in your life
And I hugged her one last time
And then I headed down the road in dusty cloud of smoke
Out of podunk

A lot of years gone by showin´ on my face
Nothing in this life that time 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 your 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

Goodbye, her daddy looked me in the eye
And said go where you gotta go, son
But don´t forget to call home
And her momma cried 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

Goodbye, her daddy looked me in the eye
And said go where you gotta go, son
But don´t forget to call home
Out in podunk (goodbye)
Keep Jesus in your life
We hugged her one last time
Headed down that road
Out in podunk

Daddy looked me in the eye
Said go where you gotta go
Don´t forget to call home (goodbye)
We hugged her one last time
Headed down that road (goodbye)
Keep Jesus in your life
