Lyrics
Take me back to my old memories of home
Take me back where I belong
Memories of apple trees and autumn leaves
Innocence starts with this song
Mom gave up her life to raise us happy and free
Dad taught life don't come easily
Kris and Kar were taking care of teenage needs
But never failed to take care of me
I'm comin' home to a place
Where nothing's changed since I've been gone away
I'm comin' home
To Skyline Drive where i was blessed to spend my early days
Matt and I, we'd ride our bikes to Graphite Mines
Pack a dip and speak of dreams
Of getting out and heading for NYC
To make it big, make lots of money
Lessons learned by breaking eggs and stealing green
Was it worth the guilt that's haunted me
While all the while I was chasing gridiron glory
Was I my own worst enemy
I'm comin' home to a place
Where nothing's changed since I've been gone away
I'm comin' home
To Skyline Drive where I was blessed to spend my early days
Just take a naked dip in the pool
Make out with girls right after school
Tried so hard to think I'm cool
But I was nothing but a stupid teenage fool
I'm comin' home to a place
Where nothing's changed since I've been gone away
I'm comin' home
To Skyline Drive where I was blessed to spend my early days
