Lilly Golden - Back to the Mountains

〈Verse〉
They put her in a box so many times
She had enough to build a staircase
So she built it and ran away

They stood her up so many times
She never got to use her rehearsed lines
So she saved them for a rainy day

〈Chorus〉
Walking away, her back to the mountains
She never gave them a second glance
And when she's far away, she likes to pretend
That she can't see them in the distance

〈Verse〉
They madе her a bridesmaid so many times
Shе went and bought her own white dress
But she didn't want to get married
No, she didn't care for the mess

Instead she took the mountain road
She drove until the stars they glowed
She woke up alone in the driver's seat of the car she stole

〈Chorus〉
Driving away, her back to the mountains
She never gave them a second chance
And when she's far away, she likes to pretend
That she'll never see them again
〈Bridge}
And flatlands are fine, but the flatlands aren't home
And I've done my time, sitting in my pity all alone
But I've learned, and I've grown

〈Chorus〉
So I'm coming home, going back to the mountains
But don't be fooled, it's not a second chance
And I'll wear my white dress, walking down the street
And I'll smile at the new people I'll meet
And you know, wherever I go, you'll be wondering
What could have happened
If you'd bet on me
