VERSE
He said he was going to Boston
Got eyes you wanna get lost in
Puts his hand in mine while we’re driving
God knows if he’ll ever see
The man that he could be
If he’d just reach beyond the horizon
PRE CHORUS
Used to dream about shooting stars
Flying high in a fast car
Standing tall with the wind in his hair
A one way ticket to somewhere
CHORUS
& I don’t know what happened
I keep looking back &
All I see is him sitting there in the same old life
Same faraway look in his eyes
It’s crazy
I used to think that maybe
He was going places but he’s wasting all he could’ve been
I keep my fingers crossed yea
That one day he’ll leave Austin
VERSE
He said he was going to L.A.
He was gonna make his own way
& I was gonna be there when it happened
PRE CHORUS
Used to dream about city lights
Instead of hometown Friday nights
Taking on the world like it’s nothing
He was gonna be something
CHORUS
& I don’t know what happened
I keep looking back &
All I see is him sitting there in the same old life
Same faraway look in his eyes
It’s crazy
I used to think that maybe
He was going places but he’s wasting all he could’ve been
I keep my fingers crossed yea
That one day he’ll leave Austin
BRIDGE
He’s scared & he’s broken
He’s lost but he’s hoping still
& I hope he will
CHORUS
I don’t know what happened
I keep looking back &
All I see is him sitting there in the same old life
Same faraway look in his eyes
It’s crazy
I used to think that maybe
He was going places but he’s wasting all he could’ve been
I keep my fingers crossed yea
That one day he’ll leave Austin
