I’ve got no one left in my hometown
Momma was the last one to move out
Now everyone is scattered all around
And there’s no one left in my hometown
Dad left first when my momma left him
Brother and I followed some ambitions
All over the world now are all those friends
Then mom moved on; now all there is…
Chorus:
(is an) Exit sign on the side of the interstate
That I see when I go to where they all are now
But there’s something that makes wanna turn off and see that place
But there’s no one left in my hometown
My two best friends and I, senior year
Climbed on the roof of our high school gym
Looked out and thought that we owned that land
But we’d soon be leaving our hometown
Chorus:
(it’s just an) Exit sign on the side of the interstate
That I see when I go to where they all are now
I miss who we were when all we did was run those streets
But there’s no one left in my hometown
Every stoplight in that town brings back some memory
Of a day spent in a world that has now forgotten me
It’s in the rearview mirror fading out of sight behind that...
Chorus:
Exit sign on the side of the interstate
But I’d have nowhere to stay if I stopped there now
And I don’t always know why, but damn it, I miss that place
But there’s no one left in my hometown
There’s no one left in my hometown
