| Usually take one last pass through town
|
| Stop the car and touch the ground
|
| Watch those streetlights swayin' in the breeze
|
| Decorated store fronts
|
| Rusty old gas pumps
|
| Try to fill my mind up
|
| With somethin' before I go
|
| Picture postcard memories
|
| You know they always make for good company
|
| I don’t know no town
|
| Like the old town
|
| Even when the miles are many
|
| I feel like I’m still around
|
| Deep inside me
|
| Like rings through an oak tree
|
| Yeah, there something ‘bout a Sunday when I’m gone
|
| That keeps me turning home
|
| I’m standin' here beneath these billboard lights
|
| Takes me back to those autumn nights
|
| Hometown bleachers packed real tight
|
| As we marched down the field
|
| My feet would swing from a dropped tailgate
|
| Out on Airport Road real late
|
| No one could walk a line too straight
|
| We usually made it home alright
|
| And glory days I cant re-live
|
| Stories I’ll never forget
|
| And I don’t know no friends
|
| Like the old friends
|
| I never seem to laugh now
|
| Like I did with them
|
| But deep inside me
|
| A piece of history
|
| Yeah, I hear their voices even though they’re gone
|
| And it keeps me turning home
|
| Never twice the same way does it start
|
| And sure enough she stole my heart
|
| On the old gym floor, spinnin' round and round one night
|
| And though we both tried hard to wait
|
| We sure did love the taste
|
| Of the sweet love being made and prayin' I got it right
|
| Graduation came and went
|
| Along with all the time we spent
|
| And I don’t know no love
|
| Like the first love
|
| When I think about the best times
|
| She’s the one I think of
|
| Deep inside me
|
| All though the taste is bittersweet
|
| I see her smilin' even though she’s gone
|
| And it keeps me turning home, yeah
|
| And it keeps me turning home |
