Lyrics

The City Limits Sign

I'm stopped here at the edge of the ocean
But I still hear the mountains singing low
For now I've turned my back
And I'm just as far east as I can go

Still everything is there behind me
Leaving doesn't make things go away
I may be traveling light
But I'm worn out by what memories can weigh

There ain't no such thing as leaving
Moving on won't change your state of mind
No the past will always follow
And lonesome's just as hollow
Either side of the city limits sign

Her smile was always bright and high like sunshine
But it slowly turned to overcast and clouds
I guess I saw the signs
And I knew the truth would knock me to the ground

So I tried as best as I have ever tried
I didn't know she found somebody new
And I can't turn around
A heart that made it's mind up that we're through

Chorus

I thought if I could just keep on moving
And keep a little distance on my side
I'd outrun the pain of losing
But it's only getting worse with every mile

Chorus
