[Verse 1]
This life is full of choices
Hard to make one
All the voices in my head
Those blue eyes I'm in love with
Or that highway whichever I pick
There'll be regrets
I go one way I lose everything
I go the other way same thing
[Chorus]
I'm torn and it's tearing me apart
I want to go but I don't want to break her heart
Like a sword with a double edged blade
It's going to cut deep either way
This little town (this little town), that big old world (that big old world)
Chase the dream or keep the girl
[Verse 2]
More than once I packed it all up (break down)
But I break down blame it on the truck
Just couldn't go (just couldn't)
Just want to be out there making my mark
Lay down every night in her arms
[Chorus]
I'm torn and it's tearing me apart
I want to go but I don't want to break her heart
Like a sword with a double edged blade
It's going to cut deep either way
This little town (this little town), that big old world (that big old world)
Chase the dream or keep the girl
[Bridge]
I don't know why I can't have it all
Need to tear down that wall
Between this little town, that big old world
Go chase my dream and keep the girl
[Chorus]
I'm torn and it's tearing me apart
I want to go but I don't want to break her heart
Like a sword with a double edged blade
It's going to cut deep either way
This little town (this little town), that big old world (that big old world)
Chase the dream or keep the girl
[Outro]
I want it all, keep the girl, hey
This life is full of choices
Hard to make one
All the voices in my head
Those blue eyes I'm in love with
Or that highway whichever I pick
There'll be regrets
I go one way I lose everything
I go the other way same thing
[Chorus]
I'm torn and it's tearing me apart
I want to go but I don't want to break her heart
Like a sword with a double edged blade
It's going to cut deep either way
This little town (this little town), that big old world (that big old world)
Chase the dream or keep the girl
[Verse 2]
More than once I packed it all up (break down)
But I break down blame it on the truck
Just couldn't go (just couldn't)
Just want to be out there making my mark
Lay down every night in her arms
[Chorus]
I'm torn and it's tearing me apart
I want to go but I don't want to break her heart
Like a sword with a double edged blade
It's going to cut deep either way
This little town (this little town), that big old world (that big old world)
Chase the dream or keep the girl
[Bridge]
I don't know why I can't have it all
Need to tear down that wall
Between this little town, that big old world
Go chase my dream and keep the girl
[Chorus]
I'm torn and it's tearing me apart
I want to go but I don't want to break her heart
Like a sword with a double edged blade
It's going to cut deep either way
This little town (this little town), that big old world (that big old world)
Chase the dream or keep the girl
[Outro]
I want it all, keep the girl, hey
