I remember loading up my truck
Everybody there wishing me luck
Thought I'd put all I knew in you in the rear view
I talked to mama last night on the phone
She asked about me coming back home
Told her how you tagged along
And you're pretty much here too
Everybody wonders where I'm from
Cause they know I ain't from here
It's the way I talk
It's the way I walk
It's the way I hold my beer
All the red letter comments said
Simple man that I wear out on my sleeve
Makes it clear to my hometown
It's who I'll always be
Yeah, I left you
But you never left me
A lead foot in a rat race suit
Ain't never gonna fit my roots
Too much Sunday driving these boots to go there
I tried to pretty up
I tried to city up
But the truth in my heart always hits me up
Reminds me who I am
And to wear it like a brand
So I do
And I don't care
Everybody wonders where I'm from
Cause they know I ain't from here
It's the way I talk
It's the way I walk
It's the way I hold my beer
All the red letter comments said
Simple man that I wear out on my sleeve
Makes it clear to my hometown
It's who I'll always be
Yeah, I left you
But you never left me
I still bleed red
I still bleed red
And I still break handshake deals
And I'll never stop praying or two
Finger waving from the steering wheel
Everybody wonders where I'm from
Cause they know I ain't from here
It's the way I talk
It's the way I walk
It's the way I hold my beer
All the red letter comments said
Simple man that I wear out on my sleeve
Makes it clear to my hometown
It's who I'll always be
Yeah, I left you
But you never left me
You never left me
you
