Feels Like Home

Ten years old, hair running wild
Dirt on my face and a naughty smile
I was so in love with the place that I called home
14, growing up fast
Chasing boys and skipping class
Double daring on the kiss me back
Scared down to the bone

'Cause there's no one that I gotta be
It all comes down to the simple things
It feels like home and family, my feet in the red clay
My heart runs like the Mississippi
All the way back from the big city
And when the sun goes down at the end of the day
Nowhere else can make me feel this way

Feels like home
Feels like home
Feels like home
Feels like home, feels like home

16 on a jet plane
Yeah, nothing's ever gonna be the same
Way out here, it don't even rain
In the city of angels
Even though I like it here
I get scared that I'll disappear
So I close my eyes, start clicking my heels
I remember how it feels

When there's no one that I gotta be
It all comes down to the simple things
It feels like home and family, my feet in the red clay
My heart runs like the Mississippi
All the way back from the big city
And when the sun goes down at the end of the day
Nowhere else can make me feel this way

Feels like home
Feels like home
Feels like home
Feels like home, feels like home

It's where I learned to drive back when I was 13
My dad gave me the wheels and said, "Give it back to me"
Summer days down in Walnut Grove Lake
We were thinking we were cool like '96 in the shade
Telling secrets in the southern moonlight
The way my mom said it's alright to roam
But this is home

No one that I gotta be
It all comes down to the simple things
It feels like home and family, my feet in the red clay
My heart runs like the Mississippi
All the way back from the big city
And when the sun goes down at the end of the day
Nowhere else can make me feel this way

Feels like home
Feels like home
Feels like home
Feels like home, feels like home
