[Verse 1] We grew up on the same red road Where the creek bends behind the grain Your name was carved in my school desk Mine was written on your truck bed stain Mama said, "Girl, dreams get bigger" Than these fields and this county line But every time I tried to leave here You were there, right on time [Pre-Chorus] I was half in the taillights Half in your front yard Tired of hearing "someday" Like it's another word for hard Then you took my shaking hands Said, "Go on, I'll be here" [Chorus] We made it out We made it through Small town love Still pulled us through Road by road Heart by heart We were never broken We were just learning where to start (We made it out) [Verse 2] I took the bus to the city With a box of clothes and a prayer Worked two jobs and a Friday night In a room that didn't feel like air You sent me cash in a birthday card And a photo of the old white fence Said, "Don't forget who taught you How to stand up and make it make sense" [Pre-Chorus] So I kept my boots by the door And my hope in my chest When the world got loud and lonely I remembered your voice best You said, "Love don't mean quitting" It means showing up again [Chorus] We made it out We made it through Small town love Still pulled us through Road by road Heart by heart We were never broken We were just learning where to start (We made it out) [Bridge] Now I'm back on the porch light With my hand in your hand Same old creek, same old moon But a brand-new kind of land We ain't running from the little things We ain't scared of the dark We built a life from the pieces And a town to hold our hearts [Final Chorus] We made it out We made it through Small town love Still pulled us through Road by road Heart by heart We were never broken We were just learning where to start We made it out We made it through Small town love Still pulled us through (We made it out) (We made it out)
