Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I packed my life in the back of that truck
Dirt-road dreams and a dashboard full of dust
Told myself, “This ain’t goodbye”
Just a small-town star chasing sky

I drove out with the sun in my rearview
Didn’t stop to feel what I outgrew
But every mile that I made mine
Left pieces of me behind

[Pre-Chorus]
And I swore I’d never look back
But there’s truth in old maps

[Chorus]
Half of me stayed
On that porch with the screen door swingin’
In the breeze of a small-town evening
Where the gravel talks, and hearts don’t lie
Where I learned to stand, and I learned goodbye
I may have gone, but I can't outrun
The parts of me I didn’t take
Half of me stayed

[Verse 2]
New streets, new skyline, bright as gold
But city lights don’t feel like home
I chase the noise, I chase the thrill
But some nights I sit too still

And I hear the crickets, feel the air
Like I never left that rocking chair
The world keeps turning wide and fast
But something holds me in the past

[Pre-Chorus]
And I laugh like I moved on
But I hum old country songs

[Chorus]
Half of me stayed
On that porch with the screen door swingin’
In the breeze of a small-town evening
Where the gravel talks, and hearts don’t lie
Where I learned to stand, and I learned goodbye
I may have gone, but I can't outrun
The parts of me I didn’t take
Half of me stayed

[Bridge]
There’s strength in leaving
But peace in where you’re from
And I carry both in my blood

[Final Chorus]
Half of me stayed
In the still of a hometown morning
In the echoes of my momma’s warnings
Where the fields breathe slow, and time don't race
Where I first found my saving grace
I may have gone, but I can't outrun
The parts of me I didn’t take
Half of me stayed
