  • I was sittin' at the cafe for a bite
    And couldn't help but overhear this guy
    He just pulled up in a U-Haul truck
    Tell Becky how pumped he was

    'Bout movin' here for his new job
    And what a cool little spot it was
    It kinda made me jealous, it made me mad
    Wish I could see this place like that

    Yeah, I wish I was new to this town
    Just pullin' in, and checkin' it out
    For the first time, wish I could go anywhere
    And not be afraid of finding you there
    Yeah, girl, when I see you around
    I wish I was new to this town

    I can't put my feet on this sidewalk
    Without hearing you laugh, and hearing you talk
    And every street's a memory
    Of just how good it used to be

    I can't walk into the corner bar
    Without asking how you are
    And how you're doing, and how you've been
    I gotta go through it all again

    I wish I was new to this town
    Just pullin' in, and checkin' it out
    For the first time, wish I could go anywhere
    And not be afraid of finding you there
    Yeah, girl, when I see you around
    I wish I was new to this town

    I wonder what it feels like to hop in my truck
    Not think about us, just go for a ride
    And stop at that stoplight, not think about you
    Sittin' here by my side

    Yeah, I wish I was new to this town
    Just pullin' in, and checkin' it out
    For the first time, wish I could go anywhere
    And not be afraid of finding you there
    Yeah, girl, when I see you around
    And I feel the way that I do now
    Oh, I wish I was new to this town

    I wish I was new to this town, oh, yeah
    I wish I was new to this town
    Oh, yeah Writer/s: Kix Brooks, Marv Green, Terry A Mcbride
