Well, you grew up in South Tennessee, but all you ever want to do is leave
When you were young, you had a vision
Now this place became your prison
Thirty on your mind, watching the good years all roll by
That beer ain't getting colder
You don't like yourself sober
Oh well, high school was such a blast, but that shit goes by way too fast
Your friends all left this farm town, left you out on your ass
The girl that you once loved that had your kid at twenty-one traded a life of passion for cheating and hard drugs
It's the same old shit, but a different man's story
You can't reclaim that long-gone glory
And the pills and the drinks will get you high a while, but what are you thinking, Kyle
You were always way too smart for your own good and where you are ain't nothing but a reflection of our mama's broken heart
You still get drunk and talk shit, and everybody lets you win
Cause you can't control your anger
You don't mean a word of it
It's the same old shit, but a different man's story
You can't reclaim that long-gone glory
And the pills and the drinks will get you by a while, but what are you thinking, Kyle
What are you thinking, Kyle
