I've been stuck in this town too dang long This old black hole just always feels wrong Got my keys and dreams packed in the mustang Ain't looking back this time, truck this place Truck this place leaves it in the rear view Hoopeston's fading fast the skies are wide and blue Petal to the metal I'm going my way Headed out of here truck this place Every corner and streets holds a piece of my past But I can't keep waiting for an ever last With every mile I feel the pull Heart's revving up, running on full Truck this place let the road unwind Kicking up dust leave it all behind Like a gypsy soul feel the winds embrace Breaking this perimeter truck this place Here's to the miles, oh, the miles ahead Leaving behind the sorrow and tears I've shed The engine revs and roars there's a smile on my face I'm ready this time truck this place Woah, let the road unwind truck this place yeahhhhhayyy
