Wipe the footprints off my dash Tore up those sun-faded photographs Threw 'em in the wind, ya'll can have it back I'm outta here I stuck my middle finger up in the sky Flipped off that "ya'll come back" sign Looked in the mirror one last time And watched it disappear It ain't nothin' but a rearview town Broken hearts and rusted plows Roots ripped right up out of the ground Never thought I'd ever leave it It ain't nothin' what it used to be Population minus me On the other side of that dust cloud Ain't nothin' but a rearview town I could tough it out, but what's the use? A place that small, it's hard to do Too much of her to run into And so much road to somewhere new It ain't nothin' but a rearview town Broken hearts and rusted plows Roots ripped right up out of the ground Never thought I'd ever leave it It ain't nothin' what it used to be Population minus me On the other side of that dust cloud Ain't nothin' but a rearview town It ain't nothin' but yesterday One less truck rollin' down Main Ain't nothin' left to say It ain't nothin' what it used to be Population minus me On the other side of that dust cloud Ain't nothin' but a rearview town Ain't nothin' but a rearview town
