Down This Road

Been away much longer than I would have liked

Got caught up in that nine to five

Ain't seen my mama in too many nights

But I'm coming home down this road

I drive past the postman who still knows my name

Hearin' those old church bells seems little has changed

All those city lights never made me feel this way

As I go down this road oh down this road

Got my apartment on the 17th floor

Living off coffee and the promise of more

Seems I've forgotten what all this living is for

But I'm coming home just a small town girl

I roll down my window let the sunshine in

Smile at the creek where I had my first kiss

No matter where I go there's always happiness

When I go down this road oh down this road

And I find that sometimes

This heart cries for home

I know that I'll be headed back soon

And to the fast pace I've grown used to

But this time going doesn't mean leaving

'Cause this place will always be with me

I get to my driveway see my daddy there

Seems like he's grown a few more gray hairs

Time can't change the fact that I'm his little girl

As I go down this road woah down this road

And I step out the car back into my own skin

Smile at the house that I grew up in

No matter where I go there's always happiness

When I go down this road oh down this road
