[Verse 1] Still livin in a no stoplight town We stare each other down Like someone knows somethin Theyre not tellin Never looked farther than the south How far ahead is now? It was ten years ago That my plans ran out Same small town storefront antique glass Same rippled reflection of me moving past [Chorus] Thinking hard bout second chances Peekin out from behind their fences, theres Nothin can hold you down like the inertia Of a sweet little no stoplight town [Verse 2] And to the left the valley road Where the lost and desperate go The rightll take you down to where the quarry closed Straight ahead into town Knows that were never leavin Back behind me is the highway leads to dreamin And I stand at crossroads With no good examples of which way to go [Chorus] Thinking hard bout second chances Peekin out from behind their fences, theres Nothin can hold you down like the inertia Of a sweet little no stoplight town [Bridge] The boys and girls hang around in that low side of town With the poppies and the speed enough They call it Little Afghanistan And I wont claim I never tried To kill the pain that way Weve all got our crosses and we Take our comfort where we can Weve all got our crosses and we Take our comfort where we can [Chorus] Thinking hard bout second chances Peekin out from behind their fences, theres Nothin can hold you down like the inertia Of a sweet little no stoplight town
