Back Home

George Strait still playin' on the FM radio dial in the kitchen
Smellin' my old man's cigarette
And my sweet momma's southern fried chicken
(Momma's southern fried chicken)
Yard seems smaller (yard seems smaller), that magnolias grown
Man, it sure feels good to be back home
Yeah, it does

That state champ sign on the highway takes me back to my senior year
(Senior year)
That muddy river water and my future seemed to be just about as clear
Graduation night, I was good as gone
Man, it sure feels good to be back home

Home, where it all went down
Growin' up hell bound on killin' beers and time
Girls comin' along for the ride up high, slidin' over close
No red lights, 'cause yellow meant go
We were breakin' rules more than we should
Love was sweet, and life was good

Can't count the memories that keep hittin' me like a train
The talk, the town, the folks hangin' 'round
Thank God ain't nothin' changed
That Waffle House sign still missin' that O
Man, it sure feels good to be back home

Home, where it all went down
Growin' up hell bound on killin' beers and time
Girls comin' along for the ride up high, slidin' over close
No red lights, 'cause yellow meant go
We were breakin' rules more than we should
Love was sweet, and life was good
Oh, yeah

I'm gonna shut it down for a couple days
Get the old man's boat out on the lake
Might get a little wild, just the boys and me like we used to do
It's good to be

Home, where it all went down
Growin' up hell bound on killin' beers and time
Girls comin' along for the ride up high, slidin' over close
No red lights, 'cause yellow meant go
We were breakin' rules more than we should
Love was sweet, and life was good

Mm
Yeah, we were breakin' rules more than we should
Yeah, love was sweet, and life was good
