Clean Slate
Read Southall Band
Every corner in this town I pass by
Reminds me of the things I didn't do right
And the street lamps, well they shine down so bright
Like a runway headed for a brand new life
In this new place I bet they don't know her name
It still takes my breath to hear her new flame
And this new zip code I won't make a grapevine cut
How my hair's too long or that I drink too much

'Cause I want out of this small town
Start a brand new clean slate
Instead of tryin' to find an empty spot of mind
Scratch on another mistake
It's been lots of memories I can't live down
I think it's time for me to move around
I want out of this small town

I reckon I'll head out quick 'cause I won't look back
Find a dead end job just to pay for my little shack
Maybe Lubbock, Stillwater, OKC
It don't make a damn but of difference to me
'Cause I want out of this small town
Start a brand new clean slate
Instead of tryin' to find an empty spot of mind
Scratch on another mistake
It's been lots of memories I can't live down
I think it's time for me to move around

Maybe I'm leavin' for the wrong reasons, I need a change
Don't you dare stand in my way

'Cause I want out of this small town
Start a brand new clean slate
Instead of tryin' to find an empty spot of mind
Scratch on another mistake
It's been lots of memories I can't live down
I think it's time for me to move around
I want out of this small town
