What I See
[Verse 1]
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
A stretch from time to time
[Verse 2]
Watch 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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
What you see is a courthouse clock
I see me wishin' time would stop
'Cause something good just mind
Happen past midnight in a Sonic parking lot
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
'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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
'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
[Post-Chorus]
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, say what you want, this is what I see
Oh, it's what I see, what I see
Oh, it's what I see
