You always said this hometown
Would look a whole lot better from a high horse view
So you got up and you rode out
To anywhere you could start brand new
Bet you found home, bet you've grown
This small town won't make you a man
Girl, who gave you thought you could walk on out
On God like you had a better plan
Them bright lights called and she picked up
This small town sky wasn't big enough
From the showdown star she was
Or the high-rise view she wants
Know you're busy runnin' 'round whatever city you went
When you left it all behind, yeah
Me and your mama probably wouldn't miss you so damn much
Girl, if you had time for Carolina
I took some pictures of us, you saw the bigger one
Bought a house on the hill, you want a bigger one
You want a fast life, I want a simple one
I wanna throw a ball around with my children's sons
Them bright lights called and she picked up
This small town sky wasn't big enough
From the showdown star she was
Or the high-rise view she wants
Know you're busy runnin' 'round whatever city you went
When you left it all behind, yeah
Me and your mama probably wouldn't miss you so damn much
Girl, if you had time for Carolina
Me and your mama probably wouldn't miss you so damn much
Girl, if you had time for Carolina
