She said, "California," as a tear fell down her cheek
|
"Small town Missouri just ain't the life for me."
|
Waved goodbye to mom and dad, and all her friends
|
In that '97 Mustang, that we both lost it in
|
|
I can't recall the day I'd finally had enough
|
Chasing my father's dream and never of growing up
|
I turned in that uniform before I ever played a game
|
With a junior college scholarship in a white trash town upstate
|
|
You never know which way the road is gonna go when it bends
|
And all I know is what I'd give today to feel that way again, yeah
|
|
I made the most of no degree here selling cars
|
On the Westside of St. Louis where most the rich folks are
|
From time to time I hear about some star you met
|
And just how close you've come but haven't made it yet
|
|
It gets me thinking 'bout the way it was and all we could've been
|
Wondering if you ever wish you could feel that way again, oh, and feel that way again
|
|
You never know which way the road is gonna go when it bends
|
And all I know is what I'd give today to feel that way again
|
|
I cannot lie sometimes when I come back to town
|
I head out to the river and roll the windows down
|
Listen to that Mississippi running through the night
|
Let it wash away the years and bring you back here by my side
|
|
Let it wash away the years and bring you back here by my side
|
Again, feel that way again
|
|
I wanna feel that way, I wanna feel that way again
|
I wanna feel that way, I wanna feel that way again
|
|

Again
