[Verse 1]
Driving through my hometown
Same stops, same turns
Backseat full of laughter
Old roads, new burns
We was kids on the block
Now the block got scars
But I still see our shadows
When I pass them yards
My mama house still standing
Same screen door sound
Same porch light flicker
When I roll back down
Twenty-seven on my license
But I feel that kid
With a backpack full of dreams
And the wild things he did
[Chorus]
My hometown, my hometown
I keep coming back around
My hometown, my hometown
Where my heart stays found
We was kids, now we grown
But the love don’t fade away
My hometown, my hometown
Still got a grip on me today (my hometown)
[Verse 2]
Got my high school sweetheart
Riding right beside me
She still laugh the same way
Like she knew me way back by the bleachers
Now we taking our kids out
To see family and friends
Little hands in the console
While the old school spins
Auntie on the front steps
Cousins at the table
Every hug feel stronger
Every story stay able
I’m thankful for the miles
And the nights I made it through
But this road to where I’m from
Always pull me back to you
[Pre-Chorus]
Pull up slow
Let the memories breathe
Kids in the mirror
Seeing what I used to be
Hand in mine
We don’t need much
Just these roots and this love
And a little family touch
[Chorus]
My hometown, my hometown
I keep coming back around
My hometown, my hometown
Where my heart stays found
We was kids, now we grown
But the love don’t fade away
My hometown, my hometown
Still got a grip on me today (my hometown)
[Bridge]
Time changed my face
But not my name
Same dirt on my tires
Same song in my brain
If I move too far
I start feeling lost
So I bring my whole world
Back across that crossroad
[Chorus]
My hometown, my hometown
I keep coming back around
My hometown, my hometown
Where my heart stays found
We was kids, now we grown
But the love don’t fade away
My hometown, my hometown
Still got a grip on me today (my hometown)
