Nothing The Same

Intro

Dust on my boots and a map on the dash

Rolling windows down, feeling time move fast

Sun burning low on an evening gold

Every mile I drive, more of my story unfolds

Verse 1

I left with a suitcase, heart full of pride

Old truck rumbling, state line in sight

Didn’t look back, chasing something new

But the road always leads me back to you

Chorus

Gone too long from this red dirt town

Highway rolling, seeing what’s come around

Nothing left but memories calling my name

Everything different, nothing the same

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, nothing the same

Oh oh, nothing the same

Verse 2

Right side now, where the wild pines stood

Fast food signs, parking lot’s taking the woods

That lake we owned, past the old gravel road

Wide open to the crowd, but it was ours alone

Pre-Chorus

Rolling by where I learned to throw a line

Granddad’s house gone, traded for neon signs

A piece of me lost every mile I gain

Driving these roads, washed by the rain

Chorus

Gone too long from this red dirt town

Highway rolling, seeing what’s come around

Nothing left but memories calling my name

Everything different, nothing the same

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, nothing the same

Oh oh, nothing the same

Bridge

Chrome and glass where the fields used to spread

I barely recognize these roads in my head

My radio’s playing songs from long ago

Trying to find the heartbeat I used to know

Verse 3

Rolling slow past the strip mall lights

Deer long gone, tucked away from sight

All these signs and faces don’t know my name

Passing by memories, it don’t feel the same

Chorus

Gone too long from this red dirt town

Highway rolling, seeing what’s come around

Nothing left but memories calling my name

Everything different, nothing the same

Post-Chorus

Oh oh, nothing the same

Oh oh, nothing the same
