They're not really expecting me
But I know where they hide the key,
under the welcome mat
There's no better place than that
Don't know how long I've been gone
All I know is it's been too long
And I'm off track
That's why I'm coming back
Cuz when I see the lights of my hometown
I feel like the world stops spinning round
Everything makes sense
Maybe it's the innocence
Though it's just a few miles down the road
I'm getting there as fast as I can go
I can always find peace of mind
In the lights of my hometown
The static is almost gone
From the station I grew up on
I'm getting closer now so I turn it up real loud
It's funny how a little thing like that
can make it all come rushing back
They say it's not the same
But to me it will never change
Cuz when I see the lights of my hometown
I feel like the world stops spinning round
Everything makes sense
Maybe it's the innocence
And though it's just a few miles down the road
I'm getting there as fast as I can go
I can always find peace of mind
In the lights of my hometown
And though I've said goodbye
The best of me still lies
Inside that city limit sign
I know it's just a few miles down the road
I'm getting there as fast as I can go
I can always find peace of mind
In the lights of my hometown
My hometown
