| Been away much longer than I would have liked
|
| Got caught up in that nine to five
|
| Ain’t seen my mama in too many nights
|
| But I’m coming home, down this road
|
| I drive past the postman who still knows my name
|
| Hearin' those old church bells, seems little has changed
|
| All those city lights never made me feel this way
|
| As I go down this road, oh down this road
|
| Got my apartment on the 17th floor
|
| Living off coffee and the promise of more
|
| Seems I’ve forgotten what all this living is for
|
| But I’m coming home, just a small town girl
|
| I roll down my window, let the sunshine in
|
| Smile at the creek where I had my first kiss
|
| No matter where I go there’s always happiness
|
| When I go down this road, oh down this road
|
| And I find that sometimes
|
| This heart cries for home
|
| I know that I’ll be headed back soon
|
| And to the fast pace I’ve grown used to
|
| But this time going doesn’t mean leaving
|
| 'Cause this place will always be with me
|
| I get to my driveway see my daddy there
|
| Seems like he’s grown a few more gray hairs
|
| Time can’t change the fact that I’m his little girl
|
| As I go down this road, woah down this road
|
| And I step out the car back into my own skin
|
| Smile at the house that I grew up in
|
| No matter where I go there’s always happiness
|
| When I go down this road, oh down this road |
