G Em
Put the hammer down, just ignore that county line
C G
I've had enough of this old town, we're leavin' it behind
G Em
Folks have dropped their friendly act and now they're gettin' cold
C G
And this old place ain't home it's just a stop in the road
Don't worry about our clothes and things, we're leavin' them behind
They'll be right here when we get back if I should change my mind
But that's not likely cause this way of life is gettin' old
This old place ain't home, it's just a stop in the road
Chorus:
Em C G
Just a stop in the road
C G
Not where you're gonna say is born and raised
Em C G
Just a stop in the road
C B7
Too soon you get to feelin' out of place
C G
You never see it but you feel it smirkin' every grin
C G
Too soon you get the feelin' you're on the outside lookin' in
C G
I wouldn't want to be caught here and find I'm gettin' old
C G
This old place ain't home, it's just a stop in the road
Banjo
Fiddle
Don't worry where we're goin, just drive till you feel right
We don't need a roadmap to get us out of sight
We'll start lookin' for a place where we can settle down
But right now, do us a favor, get us out of town
Drive this old machine like it's been entered in a race
Don't slow it down until you see a smile across my face
I could tell we didn't belong here without havin' to be told
This old place ain't home, it's just a stop in the road
Chorus
