They're not really expecting me But I know where they hide the key, under the welcome mat There's no better place than that Don't know how long I've been gone All I know is it's been too long and I'm off track That's why I'm coming back When I see the lights of my hometown I feel like the world stops spinning 'round Everything makes sense Maybe it's the innocence I know it's just a few miles down the road I'm getting there as fast as I can go I can always find peace of mind In the lights of my hometown
The static is almost gone From the station I grew up on I'm getting closer now So I turn it up real loud
Funny how a little thing like that Can make it all come rushing back They say it's not the same But to me it will never change
When I see the lights of my hometown I feel like the world stops spinning 'round Everything makes sense Maybe it's the innocence I know it's just a few miles down the road I'm getting there as fast as I can go I can always find peace of mind In the lights of my hometown
And though I've said goodbye The best of me still lies inside That city limit sign
I know it's just a few miles down the road I'm getting there as fast as I can go I can always find peace of mind In the lights of my hometown my hometown
