[Verse 1]
The gravel road fades into dust,
A suitcase full of wanderlust.
I chased a dream, a neon glow,
But left behind what I know.
The old church bell, the cricket's song,
Now they're just memories I carry along.
[Chorus]
City lights can't hold the stars,
Skyscrapers won't heal these scars.
I traded fields for crowded streets,
But home's the rhythm my heart beats.
Oh, I left—but I'm still there,
In every breeze, in every prayer.
[Verse 2]
The coffee here don’t taste the same,
It’s missing warmth, it’s missing names.
No front porch swing, no neighbor’s wave,
Just strangers lost in a concrete maze.
I wear the boots, I keep my drawl,
But they don’t hear me at all.
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I’d find myself out here,
But all I found was distance and fear.
[Chorus]
City lights can't hold the stars,
Skyscrapers won't heal these scars.
I traded fields for crowded streets,
But home's the rhythm my heart beats.
Oh, I left—but I'm still there,
In every breeze, in every prayer.
[Bridge]
Mama’s biscuits, Daddy’s hands,
The barn, the creek, the rolling land.
I close my eyes, I hear their call,
It’s not so big, this city after all.
