Jason Aldean‘s “Rearview Town” is about leaving small-town life — and the memories it holds of an ex-flame — behind.
The title track of Aldean’s eighth studio album, “Rearview Town” was released Feb. 25 as the project’s fourth single.
Its music video features photographs and videos from the start of Aldean’s almost 15-year career, along with footage of his hometown of Macon, Georgia.

Tore up those sun-faded photographs
Threw ’em in the wind, ya’ll can have it back
I’m outta here
I stuck my middle finger up in the sky
Flipped off that “ya’ll come back” sign
Looked in the mirror one last time
And watched it disappear
It ain’t nothin’ but a rearview town
Broken hearts and rusted plows
Roots ripped right up out of the ground
Never thought I’d ever leave it
It ain’t nothin’ what it used to be
Population minus me
On the other side of that dust cloud
Ain’t nothin’ but a rearview town
I could tough it out, but what’s the use?
A place that small, it’s hard to do
Too much of her to run into
And so much road to somewhere new
It ain’t nothin’ but a rearview town
Broken hearts and rusted plows
Roots ripped right up out of the ground
Never thought I’d ever leave it
It ain’t nothin’ what it used to be
Population minus me
On the other side of that dust cloud
Ain’t nothin’ but a rearview town
It ain’t nothin’ but yesterday
One less truck rollin’ down Main
Ain’t nothin’ left to say
It ain’t nothin’ what it used to be
Population minus me
On the other side of that dust cloud
Ain’t nothin’ but a rearview town
Ain’t nothin’ but a rearview town
