Intro
Well I bet youre surprised to see me right now
I bet you didnt think that I would remember how
Bet you thought I missed you cause the fields aint plowed
And the weeds covered up the sign
Hey well aint it your birthday and why arent you smiling?
I just drove 250 miles In the middle of the night
On an empty tank, dodging deer along the way
On to central Virginia, Moonlight Byway
Brought to you by this small-town always
Thought I could come home to, oh but I guess I was wrong
Why in the world are you blocking the doorway
I wanna come inside and sing happy birthday
Say hi to your momma, eat a piece of cake
And tell your little brother dirty jokes
I wanna like to everybody bout the star I am Big city life that Im livin
All of the money that theyre trying to give me
Just to sign a couple compact discs
Hey hey well aint it your birthday, then why arent you smiling?
I just drove 250 miles in the middle of the night, on an empty tank
Dodging deer along the way
On to central Virginia, moonlight byway
Brought to you by a small-town always thought I could
Come home to, oh but I guess I was wrong
Is it one of those times when you think I should back down
Just let it go instead of slamming my foot down
Bow my head at the feet of the Queen, instead of taking out a prison guard
Keeping inside all the things that Im feeling
Never leading anybody into believing, my attitude and I are making a deal
And Im trying to better myself
Hey hey well aint it your birthday, then why arent you smiling?
I just drove 250 miles in the middle of the night, on an empty tank
Dodging deer along the way
On to central Virginia, moonlight byway
Brought to you by a small-town always thought I could
Come home to, oh but I guess I was wrong
