[Verse 1: Carson McKee]
What it really is that we return to
It's an open cage, it's a greeting cards sea
An old paper bag dream on a drugstore shell

And you can break your rank, but it's gonna cost you
You signed your name away to a pyramid scheme
To your college dean, don't lie to yourself

[Chorus: McKee & Josh Turner]
Drifting from the route
Tonight's a bitter tune
I've been away too long
It's true

[Verse 2: McKee]
You can sell a dream if you've gotta make due
And be a smiling face on a goddamn brochure
Got your outdoor to go, have you heard the good news?

But when you take the stage in your white shirt
Turn the fritters up, you become your own man
It's a viable brand, son that's what I've heard

[Chorus: McKee & Josh Turner]
Drifting from the route
Tonight's a bitter tune
I've been away too long
It's true
