Ain't Close to Anywhere

They talk about our dirt roads, cover in chirt rock

They say you can't be nothing when you're from the boondocks

Don't need no big city, its bound to tear me down

Don't know how to feel with no cotton in the ground

Go on and tell me, I need to get outta here, run-in through my ears

I'm gonna tell you bout a place that ain't got a name

Or a dot on an old road map

Where the wind chimes sing and the tractors are green

And we stay right where were at

And get out of dodge don't mean a damn thing around here

Cause it ain't close to anywhere

You can ask my grandaddy, they tried to tear it down

Put street lights on an interstate headed southbound

That money couldn't change it, Didn't need the big man

That brand new black top woulda took his deer stand

I'm gonna tell you bout a place that ain't got a name

Or a dot on an old road map

Where the wind chimes sing and the tractors are green

And we stay right where were at

And get out of dodge don't mean a damn thing around here

Cause it ain't close to anywhere

You can't have our dirt roads, and we won't sell a farm

Yeah, this ole boy ain't goin very far

I'm gonna tell you bout a place that ain't got a name

Or a dot on an old road map

Where the wind chimes sing and the tractors are green

And we stay right where were at

And get out of dodge don't mean a damn thing around here

Yeah, get out of dodge don't mean a damn thing around here

Cause it ain't close to anywhere

It ain't close to anywhere

(It ain't close to anywhere)
