Conner Smith – Why I Can’t Leave Lyrics

verse 1
you never did care too much for this for this too lame town did you babe
you even talked about gettin’ out chasin them dreams down since 7th grade
And I cant blame you, for the way God made you
you need more skyline in a water tower with your name on in
And I need more Chevrolet with the little bit of red dirt clay on it
And that’s just you and that’s just me,
And that’s just the way its gotta be.

Chorus
yeah the main street slow like a mow trucks house
Bit a rough around the edges like that rusty barb wire
Baby I know that ain’t your speed
that’s why you cant stay
that’s why I can’t leave

you need more stations on your radio oh
And kind of places where the corn don’t grow
Baby I love you but we both got dreams
that’s why you cant stay
that’s why I cant leave.

verse 2
we had a good run under that sun on some getaway
And you can call me up and I’ll fill you in if you’re missing this town on may
I need a front porch view
she needs a balcony
no matter what you know where I’ll be

Chorus
where the main street slow like a mow trucks house
Bit a rough around the edges like that rusty barb wire
Baby I know that ain’t your speed
that’s why you cant stay
that’s why I can’t leave

you need more stations on your radio oh
And kind of places where the corn don’t grow
Baby I love you but we both got dreams
that’s why you cant stay
that’s why I cant leave.

ooohh ohh ohh

yeah that’s why I cant leave

Chorus
yeah the main street’s slow like a mow trucks stop
Bit a rough around the edges like that rusty barb wire
Baby I know that ain’t your speed
that’s why your daddy’s out there loadin’ up your jeep

Even Friday night lights ain’t your kinda shine
Wish I could but I cant say that ain’t mine
Little town like this what you get is what you see

that’s why you cant stay
that’s why I cant leave

nooo I can’t leave.
