Been gone to long
Took some time away from home
Had to go on my own journey
Just had
Just had to get out that town that city
Mmm
Left apart of me back home
Apart that everyone loved
How a guy like me made a difference
In the community
Everyone misses that lovely warm smile
They miss the guy
Who said hi even when the world
Was so cold
They say we been looking for you
Told them I was looking for myself too
Behind that smile of mine
Was a part yall couldn’t see
Had to leave him somewhere else
To where I knew home would never be
Had to leave him somewhere else
Mmm
Had to leave a part of me
Somewhere else
To where i knew home
Would never be
Coming home again bring back
Those old memories
Mmm
Not the same reactions
That smile that big heart of mine
Here for this community
Mmm
But the part you couldn’t see
Behind those eyes and warm smiles of mine
Left him somewhere else
To where i knew home will never be
Coming home to find her
Even though i said
I never find love in my hometown
The part of me I had to leave
Somewhere else was always blinded
From what was in front of me
Had to leave him somewhere else
Mmm
Had to leave a part of me
Somewhere else
To where i knew home
Would never be
Coming home to find her
Even though i said
I never find love in my hometown
The part of me I had to leave
Somewhere else was always blinded
From what was in front of me
