[Verse 1]
Goodbye, crack of dawn
Goodbye, harvester
Goodbye, hello baby
After a long hard day of plowin' dirt
Goodbye, way of life
Goodbye, pass it down
Goodbye, up all night of prayin' for rain, a two year drought
Walkin' on faith and toughin' it out

[Chorus]
Hey, what's past is past
Oh, nothin' in this world lasts
Hey, aren't those four lanes
Fast

[Verse 2]
Goodbye, gravel road
Thanks for the ride
For watchin' over me
Remember the time I rolled my truck
And you were there when I woke up
You walked me home, yeah, you lead me home
But...

[Chorus]
Hey, what's past is past
Oh, nothin' in this world lasts
Hey, aren't those four lanes
Fast

[Bridge]
Goodbye, tomorrow's another day
You know time, it only moves one way
Away from yesterday
Oh, but memories never fade

[Chorus]
What's past is past
Oh, nothin', nothin' in this world lasts
Hey, aren't those four lanes
Fast

[Outro]
Aren't they fast
What's past is past
Aren't they fast
Aren't they fast

After almost 15 years at the top of his format, reigning ACM “Artist of the Decade” Jason Aldean has seen trends come and go. Hell, he helped bring a few out of the shadows, like a Country-music Columbus making the mainstream’s first contact with hard rock (“Hicktown”), hip-hop (“Dirt Road Anthem”), and R&B (“Burnin’ It Down”). For 9, Aldean’s ninth studio project, he offers 16 interwoven tracks in an era of stand-alone singles and superstar EPs, holding his ground for a modern album with an old-school soul. A three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Aldean’s a card-carrying member of the Country’s elite headliners whose incendiary tours are nearing legendary status. Also a dominant force on the charts, he’s scored 23 Number Ones and notably, all eight of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified Gold or Platinum by the RIAA. He’s the only Country act in history to top the all-genre Billboard 200 four times (in a row, no less), racking up four billion streams and more than 18 million albums sold along the way.
