Two left turns from the one stop light
The building on the corner don't have a sign
But you know where to go
Everybody knows everybody
Jack's on the bar, stool hasn't moved
Just like a church pew, everybody's got their seat
They sit in every week
While they pour me another
I just sit and wonder
Who I'd be if I stayed
All I know is I've changed
They're drinkin' off the same day
Spending blue collar money the same way
And if they could would they leave?
Does everybody dream?
Well, I don't know
Nothing breaks my heart like my hometown bar

Bobby in the back goes by Robert now
Just like his dad, I heard that now he's got four mouths to feed
With one paycheck for two weeks
All I've got in common with these walls is I'm not talkin' about the world outside this town
I feel guilty I got out
While they pour me another
I just sit and wonder
Who I'd be if I stayed
All I know is I've changed
They're drinkin' off the same day
Spending blue collar money the same way
And if they could would they leave?
Does everybody dream?
Well, I don't know
Nothing breaks my heart like my hometown bar

Mama raised me, Mama gave me
The belief that I could save me
So I saved pennies
Then she made me get the hell out
And then I come back around
They pour me another
I just sit and wonder
Who I'd be if I stayed
All I know is I've changed
They're drinkin' off the same day
Spending blue collar money the same way
And if they could would they leave?
Does everybody dream?
Well, I don't know
Nothing breaks my heart
Oh, but nothing has my heart like my hometown bar
