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 gone Everything about that place made me who I am They say once you leave, you can't go back again So I took it with me, that cloud of red dust rollin' up That Georgia blue sky settin' sun, straight up highway 41 I took it with me, that wild street, that fight inside That former run on Friday night, that standin' tall small town cry I took it with me They say this world can change you fast, kick you right on back where you belong So I rolled my sleeves up every day, and that's just what you do, where I come from Everything I ever knew, I bottled up inside And I need a shot of back home, it ain't hard to find So I took it with me, that cloud of red dust rollin' up That Georgia blue sky settin' sun, straight up highway 41 I took it with me, that wild street, that fight inside That former run on Friday night, that standin' tall small town cry I took it with me I may be a thousand miles away, but it's still crystal clear I see that picture in my mind, I keep it right here I took it with me, that cloud of red dust rollin' up That Georgia blue sky settin' sun, straight up highway 41 I took it with me, that wild street, that fight inside That former run on Friday night, that standin' tall small town cry I took it with me I took it with me I took it with me
