Dandelions bloom in a field in my hometown
They have been there twenty one years
And they got plans on sticking around
Like a ballerina they cut through the cool night breeze
Dancing with their clothes off, there hearts upon their sleeve
There's something about this place that I can't hide
I can't outrun this feeling no matter how hard I try
I can't get you off my mind no matter what I do
Because everything in this damn town reminds me of you
Well the cows still graze that field on Sandy Cross
And I drive up and down this road searching for something I lost
But I don't think I'll find what I'm looking for
Because the girl I never told I loved doesn't live here anymore
There's something about this place that I can't hide
I can't outrun this feeling no matter how hard I try
I can't get you off my mind no matter what I do
Because everything in this damn town reminds me of you
The neon lights downtown, oh how they shine
And this city steals my paycheck, one drink at a time
Like a makeshift raft at sea I'm bound to sink
Because the beautiful women with dangerous smiles keep forcing me to drink
There's something about this place that I can't hide
I can't outrun this feeling no matter how hard I try
I can't get you off my mind no matter what I do
Because everything in this damn town reminds me of you
You and me we were oh so free
Running around like two young kids should be
Who would have thought that we would fall, we tripped
We fell, we lost it all in this town, this town
