Home Town

Grew up at the end of a dirt road On the outskirts of a cane farm town Daddy built the house that we lived in All I ever wanted was to get out I got my first job at 15 Saved up some money So I could move to the city Didn't think that I'd be coming back here Twenty years later Feeling all the same old heartbreaks Thought that I knew better But it's a long hard way around Back to my home town Remember when my Mama told us I sat in the front seat cryin' Daddy sold the house that we lived in I couldn't comprehend this feeling Didn't think that I'd be coming back here Twenty years later Feeling all the same old heartbreaks Thought that I knew better But it's a long hard way around Back to my home town All the time that's come and gone All the things we had in common Friends that we have laid to rest Buried but they're not forgotten I got my first job at 15 Saved up some money So I could move to the city Didn't think that I'd be coming back here Twenty years later Feeling all the same old heartbreaks Thought that I knew better Didn't think that I'd be coming back here Twenty years later Feeling all the same old heartbreaks Thought that I knew better But it's a long hard way around Back to my home town
