"Never Left Me" lyrics - JUSTIN MOORE

I remember loading up my truck
Everybody there wishing me luck
Thought I put all I knew and you in the rearview
I talked to Mama last night on the phone
She asked about me coming back home
Told her how you tagged along and you're pretty much here too

[Chorus:]
Everybody wonders where I'm from
'Cause they know I ain't from here
It's the way I talk, it's the way I walk
It's the way I hold my beer
All the red-letter common sense simple man
That I wear out on my sleeve
Makes it clear that my hometown is who I'll always be
Yeah, I left you, but you never left me

A lead foot in a rat race suit
Ain't ever gonna fit my roots
Too much Sunday drive in these boots to go there
I tried to pretty up, I tried to city up
But the truth in my heart always hits me up
Reminds who I am and to wear it like a brand
So I do and I don't care

[Chorus:]
Everybody wonders where I'm from
'Cause they know I ain't from here
It's the way I talk, it's the way I walk
It's the way I hold my beer
All the red-letter common sense simple man
That I wear out on my sleeve
Makes it clear that my hometown is who I'll always be
Yeah, I left you, but you never left me

[Bridge:]
I still bleed red, white, and blue
And I still make handshake deals
And I'll never stop praying or two-finger waving from the steering wheel

[Chorus:]
Everybody wonders where I'm from
'Cause they know I ain't from here
It's the way I talk, it's the way I walk
It's the way I hold my beer
All the red-letter common sense simple man
That I wear out on my sleeve
Makes it clear that my hometown is who I'll always be
Yeah, I left you, but you never left me

[Outro:]
Mm, never left me
