Home Again

I used to swear I'd never come back here
I used to swear on big dreams, and a college town
And I thought that I was better
Than all my high school friends who stuck around

But the chill that hits the air tonight
And a hometown crush holding my right hand
Makes home feel like home again
Maybe I just always belonged here

And this small town life I always took for granted
Now shines like the stars without big city bright lights
The wind in my hair, we grew up around here; it all feels right
And now my whole wide world fits in one country night

I fell for the boy who rode my bus
And the homegrown tomatoes in his backyard
The deep red clay that won't wash away
And a front porch beer sitting next to my mom

I thought all my dreams were so damn far away
But maybe my small town is bigger than it seems
Just some football stars and a fall fair are all we have
Maybe I just always belonged here

And this small town life I always took for granted
Now shines like the stars without big city bright lights
The wind in my hair, we grew up around here; it all feels right
And now my whole wide world fits in one country night
