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
