lyrics

The mistress in the GPS says I'm getting near
To think I went to find myself and found myself back here
The sign says Grand Oak Village where the Grand Oak used to stand
I ain't lost, but I don't know where I am

I used to walk and run these streets, I knew my way back then
I pulled into a station and recognized my high school friend
Long time no see buddy, say can you help me Sam
I ain't lost, but I don't know where I am

I've been driving round in circles and it's messing with my mind
Thought I was going forward but it was backwards all the time
Do I look as different as the old town looks to me
Am I still her hometown hero or just what used to be

I scribbled down direction and got back in my car
I swear that Walgreen's used to be the Old Red Rooster Bar
I feel like some stranger in a far and distant land
I ain't lost, but I don't know where I am

I was traveling round in circles and it was messing with her mind
She was waiting for an answer I couldn't give her at the time
Now I know I need her but did I push her love too far
I was all she ever wanted once upon a wishing star

I slowed down on Maple Street but I just drove on past
A loving wife and children were playing in the grass
She was my Molly Elliott but now her mailbox says Moran
I ain't lost, but I don't know where I am
You can't relive old memories they're just markers in the sand
I ain't lost, but I don't know where I am
