Saw Me Here

(앨범: Come Get Your Memory - 2023)

Had a 10th-grade teacher
Non-believer
Telling me to just drop out
"One day you'll see
Nothing's all you'll be"
Were the last words outta her mouth

They saw me leave that school
That sophomore year
But never saw me here

Had a couple people
Tell me to leave that six-string
In the pawn shop
That my dream was so way out of reach
I'd never see the top
I saw me playing for tips
And cheap cold beer
But never saw me here

I thought I'd be stuck in that town
Working that clock 'til the sun goes down
Drinking my dreams away in a dive-bar chair
That two-lane truck that I was driving around
Is nowhere near where I am right now
Even that boy looking back in the rear-view mirror
Never saw me here

There's a hometown girl
That my whole world was supposed to be spinning 'round
A five-acre field
With some rolling hills
And roots to be planted down
I saw us making memories way our there
I never saw me here

I thought I'd be stuck in that town
Working that clock 'til the sun goes down
Drinking my dreams away in a dive-bar chair
That two-lane truck that I was driving around
Is nowhere near where I am right now
Even that boy looking back in the rear-view mirror
Never saw me

Standing on a stage singing my songs
With all of y'll there singing along
Some days I wake up and don't understand it
And not a day goes by, I take it for granted

I thought I'd be stuck in that town
Working that clock 'til the sun goes down
Drinking my dreams away in a dive-bar chair
I swear that two-lane truck that I was driving around
Is nowhere near where I am right now
Even that boy looking back in the rear-view mirror
Never saw me
Never saw me here
