Well I've been stuck in this town for so long I thought I would go nuts I don't know where I'm going But I know that there's just too damn much I want to leave this small city And find out what them big towns have got Though when I show up there There ain't a whole lot more to spare than what I thought It ain't better there, or what you've heard Or whatever the hell you thought In my hometown, living life while I'm away Yeah my sound, a radio in my drive-way There's no better day I didn't even know it yet Impossible to forget I'll miss you when I'm gone Lord, I'll miss you when I'm gone As I walk through these neon lights Don't know where the hell I am tonight Just another big 'ol city Don't you think she's pretty But I'm left here all alone It ain't better there, or what you heard Or whatever the hell you thought In my hometown, living life while I'm away Yeah my sound, a radio in my drive-way There's no better day I didn't even know it yet Impossible to forget I'll miss you when I'm gone Lord, I'll miss you when I'm gone And I think back, talking trash and sitting on football fields Way after midnight, talking bout how reckless we feel I remember throwing rocks, up at your window sill Oh how it feels In my hometown, living life while I'm away My sound, a radio in my drive-way There's no better day I didn't even know it yet Impossible to forget I'll miss you when I'm gone Lord, I'll miss you when I'm gone
