It’s more than just the wind
Or the plains that go for miles
It’s a sunset sky burning like a fire, wild

And it’s more than just the oil
Or the high school football team
It’s a Friday night cheering in the stands with me

It’s the place my parents met
The reason I was born
Where I broke my bones and broke my heart
It’s the dirt road where I learned
More than how to drive
And I’m thankful I was given such a start
In this town

There’s the field where I got caught
After sneaking out the house
Boy, I thought I’d never live that down

And there’s the city limit sign
Where we’d go to see the stars
And one night I let him take me way too far

It’s the place my parents met
The reason I was born
Where I broke my bones and broke my heart
It’s the dirt road where I learned
More than how to drive
And I’m thankful I was given such a start
In this town

It’s the place I’ve come to love
The reason I must go
But I know with it I’ll leave my heart
It’s the road I have to take
If I’m to chase my dreams
But I’m thankful I was given such a start
In this town
