[Verse 1]
It ain't much different out here I found
It's just different names for the same old hillbilly towns
Welcome signs for the shotgun homes
Familiar faces in the same old rows

[Chorus]
With every cafe corner diner
It's the same old story to some old timer
Rundown tavern on a dim lit street
I'd see my old friends in everybody I'd meet
The only thing missin' that I can't seem to find
Is the girl I left behind

[Verse 2]
There's been a few that have caught me a little off guard
I try to fool myself but I just can't fool my heart
Every pretty green-eyed girl I see
Gets me further away from where I want to be

[Chorus]
Summertime tailgate, road-side stands
Sellin' home grown tomatoes and strawberry jam
Little white churches and country stores
Every town's just like the one before
The only thing missin' that I can't seem to find
Is the girl I left behind me

[Bridge]
Standin' on her momma's front porch
Wavin' through the black smoke rollin' outta that old Ford
Take me to some backwards town
Wishin' I had you
But you're nowhere to be found

[Chorus]
Every cafe corner diner
It's the same old story to some old timer
Rundown tavern on a dim lit street
I'd see my old friends in everybody I meet
Summertime tailgate, road-side stands
Sellin' home grown tomatoes and strawberry jam
Little white churches and country stores
Every town's just like the one before
The only thing missin' that I can't seem to find
Yeah, The only thing missin' that I can't seem to find
Is the girl I left behind
