Lyrics
just a dot on the map between the cows and the corn
just a little south of nowhere was my front door
my family ran a five and dime on the corner of third and main
well life moved slow in that sleepy town
the streets rolled up when the sun went down
my big dreams didn?t fit in a place that small
so I moved to the city and ran that race
it didn?t take long to feel out of place
had to get back home where I belong
CHORUS
take a two lane highway down by the river
family and friends and a home cooked dinner
front porch swing and a homemade bottle of wine on a saturday night
town square county fair church on sunday
play with the kids ?till work on monday
back where I belong
bought a second hand truck bought a john deere ride
bought a little slice of paradise on riverside drive
married to a hometown girl she was my old high school flame
and now the kids are goin? to our old school and it?s
cub scout meetings and tap dance shoes
if I had it all to do again you know I wouldn?t change a thing
CHORUS
SOLO
CHORUS (breakdown)
TAG & OUTTRO
back roads take me home
back where I belong
back where I belong
back where I belong
