Lyrics

BACK TO BOWLING GREEN

VERSE I:
Driving home to Bowling Green
Down a twisting turning road
I hear the frogs and the crickets sing
To my bluegrass radio
I never felt so free
A cool breeze washes over me
No regrets I did my best
I'm leaving you to figure out the rest
CHORUS:
When I'm gone you'll remember me
In the pages of your poetry
With words so bittersweet
I'll have already crossed that street
And I wonder who will cook and clean
Work two jobs for your Jim Beam
All I know is it won't be me
Cause I'm headed back to Bowling Green
VERSEII:
Looking back how you drew me in
Such a man of mystery
I wasn't looking for a friend
And you knew how not to be
I never could read your face
You were holding back the ace
I was waiting on a wedding band
But the devil's slow to show his hand

CHORUS:
When I'm gone you'll remember me
In the pages of your poetry
With words so bittersweet
I'll have already crossed that street
And I wonder who will cook and clean
Work two jobs for your Jim Beam
All I know is it won't be me
Cause I'm headed back to Bowling Green

BRIDGE:
I got too much fight to give in
I'm ready to start livin'

CHORUS

1/2 VERSE I repeats:
Driving home to Bowling Green
Down a twisting turning road
I hear the frogs and the crickets sing
To my bluegrass radio
