Let's go
It's not easy making a name for yourself
Where do you draw the line
I never thought I'd be in this far
Let's have some fun and never change, not for anyone
Try not to miss me when I'm gone
I sold my soul to the open road
I live my life alone

You won't find me in the same spot, believe me
I could never stop
My life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks, I'm leaving
And not coming back
You're right and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all

I'm gonna need you to try to follow along
I did the best that I could to try to write you songs
Now go tell them we sold out
Like we're the ones who changed
I write what I feel, I say what I mean
You can't buy sincerity
I sold my soul to the open road
I live my life alone

You won't find me in the same spot, believe me
I could never stop
My life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks, I'm leaving
And not coming back
You're right and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all

Don't forget yourself
We made up our minds
And we said three, four, five
Signed the dotted line
Don't forget yourself
We made up our minds
And we said three, four, five
Signed the dotted line

You won't find me in the same spot, believe me
I could never stop
My life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks, I'm leaving
And not coming back
You're right and I was wrong

You won't find me in the same spot, believe me
I could never stop
My life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks, I'm leaving
And not coming back
You're right and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all
This town will be the downfall of us all

Downfall of us all
Downfall of us all
Downfall of us all
Downfall of us all

    General Comment:MY OPINION ON THE MEANING: I think that what it is really about is them moving on in their careers. Many of you may not know, Victory Records wasn't their first label. I think this is a song to their original label saying that they felt it was time to move on to bigger, better things. & I'm sure they would like to include all of the fans that call them sellouts for signing to a big name label and going "main stream"

    General Comment:'This Town' refers to the music industry in general, and the way it works. Same goes with when they reference the phrase in their song, "All Signs Point To Lauterdale"

    Lyric Correction:I'm fairly sure rather than "I'm gonna need you to try to follow along" it's "I've traded years trying to follow along" not 100% though

    General Comment:at first its about going out to reach their dreams and not staying in the same place not going anywhere, then its about reaching the top and at that point people deciding that adtr became "sell outs" when in truth they write how they feel and not for how others feel... and for peoples arrogance it will lead them down in the end.
