Out in the country the road meets the sky

I see the driveway on the left hand side

All the old pictures are hung on display

Makes me wonder what if i stayed

You always told me that you wanted me to go far

Watching me leave I know that it breaks your heart

I’m getting older but we will stay young in my mind

I’m going places but I’ll never leave you behind

Out at the courthouse I’m holding your hand

I’ll always be your young, country man

I may make promises but I will never make plans

And if I hurt you I hope that you will understand

Speak of the devil and then you walked into my life

I’m going places but I’ll never leave you behind

Now that I’m older and seen what you saw

A thousand excuses and I’ve heard them all

And if I leave you know that you’ll always be mine

Wish I could be theres but theres always mountains to climb

Go see the ocean and I will return here in time

I’m going places but I’ll never leave you behind

I’m going places but I’ll never leave you behind
