Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got the same red light
Blinkin' on Main
Mama's old trailer
Fresh coat of paint
High school letters
Peelin' off the wall
Thought I'd outrun it
Never left at all
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried big cities and bigger mistakes
Burned through my money and all of my breaks
Now every back road is callin' my name
But it don't feel the same
[Chorus]
I'm home in a hometown I don't recognize
Same church steeple, brand‑new lies
All my old ghosts in their Sunday best
Wavin' from the bleachers of the past I left
I'm home in a hometown, heart on the line
Laughin' at the kid I was at seventeen, tryin' to fly
Guess you grow, guess you drown
I'm home in a hometown
[Verse 2]
Pulled up to the diner
Jukebox still stuck
Quarter won’t drop
Like I ran outta luck
Your mama on the counter
Ask about you
I fake a little smile
Hide the whole truth
[Pre-Chorus]
You took the backseat and rode outta state
I took the spotlight in bars open late
Now every love song is shoutin' your name
But it don't sound the same
[Chorus]
I'm home in a hometown I don't recognize
Same church steeple, brand‑new lies
All my old ghosts in their Sunday best
Wavin' from the bleachers of the past I left
I'm home in a hometown, heart on the line
Laughin' at the kid I was at seventeen, tryin' to fly
Guess you break, guess you bow
I'm home in a hometown
[Bridge]
Yeah, I rap to the rearview
Talk big to the mirror
Say I'm changed, but the letters on the water tower
Still spell my fear
If I leave, if I stay (oh)
Either way, I'm found
I’m a stranger and a son
To this same old town
[Chorus]
I'm home in a hometown I don't recognize
Same church steeple, brand‑new lies
All my old ghosts in their Sunday best
Wavin' from the bleachers of the past I left
I'm home in a hometown, singin' out loud
Turn my little failures to a big‑time crowd
If I fall, if I crown
I'm home in a hometown (yeah)
