Put the hammer down, just ignore that county line I’ve had enough of this old town, we’re leavin’ it behind Folks have dropped their friendly act and now they’re gettin’ cold And this old place ain’t home it’s just a stop in the road
Don’t worry about our clothes and things, we’re leavin’ them behind They’ll be right here when we get back if I should change my mind But that’s not likely ’cause this way of life is gettin’ old This old place ain’t home, it’s just a stop in the road
Just a stop in the road, not where you’re gonna say is born and raised Just a stop in the road, too soon you get to feelin’ out of place You never see it but you feel it smirkin’ every grin Too soon you get the feelin’ you’re on the outside lookin’ in I wouldn’t want to be caught here and find I’m gettin’ old This old place ain’t home, it’s just a stop in the road
Don’t worry where we’re goin’, just drive till you feel right We don’t need a roadmap to get us out of sight We’ll start lookin’ for a place where we can settle down But right now, do us a favor, get us out of town
Drive this old machine like it’s been entered in a race Don’t slow it down until you see a smile across my face I could tell we didn’t belong here without havin’ to be told This old place ain’t home, it’s just a stop in the road
Just a stop in the road, not where you’re gonna say is born and raised Just a stop in the road, too soon you get to feelin’ out of place You never see it but you feel it smirkin’ every grin Too soon you get the feelin’ you’re on the outside lookin’ in I wouldn’t want to be caught here and find I’m gettin’ old This old place ain’t home, it’s just a stop in the road
