Same Damn Road - Charles Esten

Ran right by the house I grew up in

Right through the town I knew I was stuck in

Took mama to church, and me to the high school

Daddy to work, and then to a bar stool

There was a stretch, a Chevy

Gave us a Gravol, shoulder to cry on

I found you, girl, and that I let you go

On the same damn road

The same two lanes that let me leave

Are 'bout to bring you back to me

I got out, but I want back in

A prim baby, I could be your baby again

And these four wheels that got me gone

Will turn around, drive all night long

I got lost, but I know my way back home

It’s the same damn road

Flattened dust to

One-way ticket, and this boy took it

Mama cried, daddy drank

She filled my belly, he filled my tank

Crossed my heart on the railroad track

Swore to God, I wasn’t coming back

But, oh, I guess you never know

'Cause the same two lanes that let me leave

Are 'bout to bring you back to me

I got out, but I want back in

A prim baby, I could be your baby again

And these four wheels that got me gone

Will turn around, drive all night long

I got lost, but I know my way back home

It’s the same damn road

I was born to run

So here I come

On the same two lanes that let me leave

Are 'bout to bring you back to me

I got out, but I want back in

A prim baby, I could be your baby again

And these four wheels that got me gone

Could turn around, drive all night long

I got lost, but I know my way back home

And there’s the sign, just two more miles to go

On the same damn road

It’s the same damn road
