Lyrics:
[Verse 1] Well I was born in the valley of the Cape Fear River 'Bout a thirty-minute drive to the south of Virginia A north star of this great state At least that's what the sign said [Verse 2] In a town where you either had or you didn't My daddy worked a seven-to-five just to give me A fighting chance to make it out And not end up like him [Pre-Chorus] Well I ain't the man Half the man my Daddy was Half the man he wanted me to be [Chorus] So I packed up, cashed my chips and pointed that car east No idea where I was going, anywhere but here’d worked for me Somehow I still think I made him proud Just by getting out [Verse 3] You either get locked up or you join the corps You work the grill at Pete's Burgers and more You buy a map and pick a spot Drive as fast as you can [Verse 4] 'Cause fallin' down here's all too real Broken dreams and tobacco fields Hollow shells with hardened eyes That didn't make it out [Verse 5] They're either dropped out or knocked up That high school girl that they thought they loved Now their life revolves around Diapers and DirecTV [Pre-Chorus] We aren't the men We aren't the men our fathers were We aren't the men they wanted us to be [Chorus] So I packed up, cashed my chips and pointed that car east No idea where I was going, anywhere but here'd worked for me Somehow I still think I made him proud Just by getting out [Verse 1] Well I was born in the valley of the Cape Fear River 'Bout a thirty-minute drive to the south of Virginia The north star of this great state At least that's what the sign said
