Lyrics
Couldn?t wait to get out of there
Was ready to head anywhere but there
But that?s gotten old
Now I?m livin the high life
Can?t take a break cause I don?t have time
And it?s worth it
Or so I?m told
But I?m getting tired of totin this heavy load
So I think it?s time I hit the road
CHORUS
I?m going home to my town
Cause in the end that?s what it?s all about
Gonna sit on the porch and live my days out
Where the people care, and they?re glad you?re there
In my town
It?s where Miss Mittie teaches Sunday School
And Miss Bobbie Lou plays a tune
On the churchground
In my town
Where everybody gathers round
To hear Miss Mildred tell about
The Old South
In my town
All of the hassle isn?t worth it in the end
So I?m going back to where it all began
CHORUS
And it?s in my dreams at night when I?m asleep
So I?m going home to where to the roots run so deep
CHORUS
Where the people care, and they?re so glad you?re there
In my town
(hmmmm)
