lyrics

(instrumental)

There's a sign that says you're leaving Franklin County
I have crossed it eleven times and come back ten
The one time I didn't, I was twenty-two and certain
(and certain)
Certain is a thing you only get to be once

Nashville is an hour (an hour)
And that hour costs more than the miles suggest

Franklin county line
(county line)
Everyone I love is on one side of it
Franklin county line
And everything I want is on the other

My sister stayed and had two kids and she is happy
Genuinely, actually happy, I have checked
That should make this easier and it makes it worse
(makes it worse)
Because now there's no villain, there's just a road

(key change up)
I'm not running from it.
I'm just running, and it happens to be behind me.

Franklin county line
(county line)
Everyone I love is on one side of it
Franklin county line
And everything I want is on the other

(county line...)
