What I See

What you see is an exit sign

I see a road that goes back in time

To high school glory and all of those stories

I stretch from time to time

What you see is an old scoreboard

I see goin' for it on fourth

Yeah, it's just a game but small town fame

Still buys me a beer and more

What I see

Is a little piece of heaven this side of eternity

And all I know

Are these two-lane roads are the ones that's gonna take me home

Where I belong

Pride grows strong and love runs deep

Deeper than the roots of an old oak tree

Can't nobody take that from me

See what you want but this is what I see

What you see is a courthouse clock

I see me wishin' time would stop

'Cause something good just might

Happen past midnight in a Sonic parking lot

What you see is a real sharp curve

I see a real hard lesson learned

I walked away from that without the scratches

Lord knows I deserved

'Cause what I see

Is a little piece of heaven this side of eternity

And all I know

Are these two-lane roads are the ones that's gonna take me home

Where I belong

Pride grows strong and love runs deep

Deeper than the roots of an old oak tree

Can't nobody take that from me

See what you want but this is what I see

What you see are some Stars and Stripes

I see boys that ain't afraid to fight

For the red, white and blue so me and you

Can live this kind of life

What I see

Is a little piece of heaven this side of eternity

And all I know

Are these two-lane roads are the ones that's gonna take me home

Where I belong

Pride grows strong and love runs deep

Deeper than the roots of an old oak tree

Can't nobody take that from me

See what you want, see what you want, this is what I see

Oh, it's what I see, what I see
