[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)

rap, Moody country-trap crossover with male vocals: fingerpicked acoustic and twangy slide licks over deep 808s and crisp claps, verses half-rapped with a confessional drawl. Pre-chorus brings in roomy electric chords and rising pads, then an anthemic singalong chorus with stacked harmonies, distant gang vocals, and a wide pop-rock lift. Final hook repeats over booming low-end and echoing snare hits, fading on a lone acoustic riff., acoustic, alternative country, male vocals, pop rock, country rock, electric, country, pop, moody, rock
