Same Saturday night
Same ol' crowd
Draggin' Main to the Safeway
Then we turn back around
'Til curfew, then head down to the river's edge
Get drunk

Ain't nothin' new
What else you gonna do
Out in Podunk

I knew this six-string
Was my ticket out
No flashin' red light
Was gonna slow me down
Eighteen years old
Everything that I owned
In the back of that truck

I put a dip in my mouth
And I headed straight out
Out of 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
Then I headed down the road
In a dusty cloud 'a smoke
Out of Podunk
Hey, yeah

A lotta years gone by
Showin' on my face
Ain't nothin' in this life
That time hasn't changed
I chased a lot 'a dreams
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
Things are different now
I met one them girls
Turn your whole world around girls
And wouldn't you know it

Got our eyes on a house
'Bout a hundred miles south
Out in Podunk

'Goodbye'
Her Daddy looked me in the eye
Said, 'Go where you gotta go, son'
Don't forget to call home ...goodbye
And her Momma cried,
'Keep Jesus in your life'
And we hugged her one last time
Then we headed down the road
To start a family of our own...goodbye
Out in Podunk

Her Daddy looked me in the eye
Said, 'Go where you gotta go, son'
But don't forget to call home ...goodbye
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...goodbye
Out in Podunk
