Saw Me Here

Had a tenth grade teacher, non-believer
Telling me to just drop out
"One day you'll see nothing's all you'll be"
Were the last words outta her mouth
They saw me leave that school that sophomore year
But never saw me here

Had a couple people tell me to leave that six-string
In the pawn shop
That my dream was so way out of reach, I'd never see the top
I saw me playing for tips and cheap cold beer
But never saw me here

I thought I'd be stuck in that town
Working that clock 'til the sun goes down
Drinking my dreams away in a dive bar chair
That two lane truck that I was driving around
Is nowhere near where I am right now
Even that boy looking back in the rearview mirror
Never saw me here

There's a hometown girl
That my whole world was supposed to be spinning 'round
A five acre field with some rolling hills
And roots to be planted down
I saw us making memories way out there
I never saw me here

I thought I'd be stuck in that town
Working that clock 'til the sun goes down
Drinking my dreams away in a dive bar chair
That two lane truck that I was driving around
Is nowhere near where I am right now
Even that boy looking back in the rearview mirror
Never saw me

Standing on a stage singing my songs
With all of y'll there singing along
Some days I wake up and don't understand it
And not a day goes by, I take it for granted

I thought I'd be stuck in that town
Working that clock 'til the sun goes down
Drinking my dreams away in a dive bar chair
I swear that two lane truck that I was driving around
Is nowhere near where I am right now
Even that boy looking back in the rearview mirror
Never saw me, never saw me here
