When I passed that city limit sign I knew that I was finally on my own So I put my foot down on the gas To see how fast those wheels could get me going
Everything about that place made me who I am But they say once you leave you can't go back again
So I took it with me: that cloud of red dust rolling up That Georgia blue sky, setting sun, straight up highway forty-one I took it with me: that wild street, that fighting size That born to run on Friday night That standing tall small town pride I took it with me
They say this world can change you fast Kick you right on back where you belong So I rolled my sleeves up every day That's just what you do where I come from
Everything I ever knew I bottled up inside What I'd leave your side at back home, it ain't hard to find
So I took it with me: that cloud of red dust rolling up That Georgia blue sky, setting sun, straight up highway forty-one I took it with me: that wild street, that fighting size That born to run on Friday night That standing tall small town pride I took it with me
I might be a thousand miles away But it's still crystal clear I see that picture in my mind I keep it right here
So I took it with me: that cloud of red dust rolling up That Georgia blue sky, setting sun, straight up highway forty-one I took it with me: that wild street, that fighting size That born to run on Friday night That standing tall small town pride I took it with me
