I Took It with Me

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 on the run on a Friday night

That standing tall small town crowd

I took it with me

They say this world can change you fast

Kick you right on back where you belong

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 on the run on a Friday night

That standing tall small town crowd

I took it with me

I'd be a thousand miles away

But it's still crystal clear

I see that picture in my mind

I keep with 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 on the run on a Friday night

That standing tall small town crowd

I took it with me
