Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pulled off the highway
Same sun on that old green sign
Corner store’s a cafe now
But it still smells like cheap red wine
Kids on their phones by the courthouse
Bench where we used to waste July
Different faces in the windows
Same cracked brick, same slow sky
[Chorus]
Funny how the road bends
Back to where my name still fits
Every little ghost I left behind
Shakes my hand, then it quits
World keeps rolling, streets keep changing
Yet this feeling never shifts
Funny how the road bends
Back where my name still fits
[Verse 2]
Mama’s porch light flickers softer
Mailbox leans a little more
Paint is peeling on the railing
But my key still finds the door
Bar’s got a new bright logo
But the barkeep knows my drink
Jukebox moved, the pool table’s gone
Same sad laugh, same slow blink
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
They paved the field behind the school
Built a store where we stole our first kiss
But that dip in the road still grabs the tires
Like it don’t care what year it is
I thought I’d outrun this town
Turned my heart into a rolling stone
Yet the way my name sounds in this air
Makes the big world feel overgrown
[Chorus]
