Clean Slate

(アルバム： Live At Tower Theatre - 2018)

Anyone come from a small town by chance? Well this is about the one I grew up in in Altus, Oklahoma. This song is basically about wanting to get the hell out of that place and try something new. Nothing wrong with it, just not really my style right now. This one's called "Clean Slate."

Every corner in this town I pass by
It reminds me of the things I didn't do right
And the street lamps, well they shine down so bright
Like a runway headed for a brand new life (Y'all sound good)
In this new place I bet they don't know her name
It still takes my breath to hear her new flame
And this new zip code I won't make a grapevine cut
How my hair's too damn long or that I drink whiskey too much

'Cause I want out of this small town
I'll start a brand new clean slate
Instead of trying to find an empty spot of mind
Scratch on another mistake
It's been lots of memories I can't live down
I think it's time for me to move around
I want out of this

I reckon I'll head out quick I won't look back
Find a dead end job just to pay for my little shack
Maybe Lubbock, Stillwater, OKC
It don't make a goddamn difference to me

I want out of this small town
I'll tart a brand new clean slate
Instead of trying to find an empty spot of mind
Scratch on another mistake
It's been lots of memories I can't live down
I think it's time for me to move around
I want out of

Maybe I'm leaving for the wrong reasons, I need a change
Don't you dare stand in my way

I want out of this small town
I'll start a brand new clean slate
Instead of trying to find an empty spot of mind
Scratch on another mistake
It's been lots of memories I can't live down
I think it's time for me to move around

Think it's time for me to move around
Get me out of this small town
