Lyrics

Three letters flicker neon
On a burned out diner sign
And the parking lot is empty
Except for big rigs in a line

There?s some old men at the counter
Who?d come in from the rain
Passing time by nursing coffee
Until they can hit the road again...

And there?s a waitress pouring coffee
She looks an awful lot like you.
Except your eyes are soft and round
And chestnut brown...hers are china blue.
She said ?Hun pass your cup and I?ll warm you up
If you want me to.?
We shared a smile and we talked awhile
Then I headed home to you.

Headed Home
To the place where I belong
Headed Home
On a road that?s been too long.
I lost my dreams along the way
But one dream has come true.
I?ve got Nashville in my rearview mirror
And I?m headed home to you.

I played my old guitar in corner bars
Just to get my music heard
Where lonely lost and desperate souls
Hung on every word.
They put money in my tip jar
And they passed the hat around.
They said ?son you might just make it big
If you can get the Nashville sound

BRIDGE
I got to get out of these old blue jeans
I?m under paid and under fed
I got to get out of this motel room
I got to sleep in my own bed.
I got to get out of this rut I?m in
I?ve got to climb out of this hole.
I got to get on out of Nashville
While I?ve still got my soul

I got some money in my pocket
And a pick up full of gas
Heading home without a compass
Just your picture on the dash.
For every dollar that I earned here
It always seemed like I spent two.
I?m going to drink this cup...then settle up
And I?ll be headed home to you.

Headed Home
To the place where I belong
Headed Home
On a road that?s been too long.
I lost my dreams along the way
But one dream has come true.
I?ve got Nashville in my rearview mirror
And I?m headed home to you.
