Looking back time was flying
But we just swore it stood still
Out here where nothing happens
'Cept tumbleweeds and cotton fields
I was lucky just to hold her
Underneath an empty sky
She told me that she loved me
But we both knew that was a lie

We all saw it coming, she outshined our one stop light
Now there's one less number on that city limit sign
She didn't need me anyway, yeah that's all right
Ain't nothing in the world like a small town girl goodbye

Heard her dad took it bad
And her mamma couldn't stop crying
But if I know my sweet Amy
She was doing just fine
She stopped by on her way out
But I'm glad I wasn't home
I'm not sure I could've handled
Watching that girl get gone

We all saw it coming, 'cause she outshined our one stop light
Now there's one less number on that city limit sign
She didn't need me anyway, yeah that's all right
Ain't nothing in the world like a small town girl goodbye

There ain't a summer I don't think about
Her being all mine
And it hurt that we didn't work out
But it still makes me smile

We all saw it coming, 'cause she outshined our one stop light
Now there's one less number on that city limit sign
She didn't need me anyway, yeah that's all right
That girl was born to fly
There ain't nothing in the world like a small town girl goodbye

Ain't nothing in the world like a small town girl goodbye
