Hometown Ballad
Headed back on 95
Don't know when I will arrive
But I'm going home to find my youth
When I didn't worry about the truth
I don't know how to say it but I'm scared
Feeling like I should have stayed
On that treasured fateful day
When I was running around trying to figure out
What I wanted to be but you let me free
I'm doing this for you and not for me
Waking up in my crib
Waiting for you to give
That mother's love I can't deny
Whenever I miss or try to hide
I sit and sing this hometown ballad
Holding back these tears tonight
I miss those days when all felt right
Where did all the time go? Felt this way since I've been out of sight
Bringing back my way of life
It seemed so simple, free of strife
Making things so serious all in between my soul and mind
Feel that disconnect running through your vein
I'm going crazy trying to figure out my way
Been fading out of touch on my own path
I could break away but have to call you back
You're teary eyed, my past has died
I can barely see a figure of me
When I sit and sing this hometown ballad
Holding back these tears tonight
I miss those days when all felt right
Where did all the time go? Felt this way since I've been out of sight
Please let them know that I've been cold
Showing up when I dream of home
Making things so serious all in between my soul and mind
Don't know when I will arrive
But I'm going home to find my youth
When I didn't worry about the truth
I don't know how to say it but I'm scared
Feeling like I should have stayed
On that treasured fateful day
When I was running around trying to figure out
What I wanted to be but you let me free
I'm doing this for you and not for me
Waking up in my crib
Waiting for you to give
That mother's love I can't deny
Whenever I miss or try to hide
I sit and sing this hometown ballad
Holding back these tears tonight
I miss those days when all felt right
Where did all the time go? Felt this way since I've been out of sight
Bringing back my way of life
It seemed so simple, free of strife
Making things so serious all in between my soul and mind
Feel that disconnect running through your vein
I'm going crazy trying to figure out my way
Been fading out of touch on my own path
I could break away but have to call you back
You're teary eyed, my past has died
I can barely see a figure of me
When I sit and sing this hometown ballad
Holding back these tears tonight
I miss those days when all felt right
Where did all the time go? Felt this way since I've been out of sight
Please let them know that I've been cold
Showing up when I dream of home
Making things so serious all in between my soul and mind
