HEART LIKE A HOMETOWN

My heart's like a hometown with a welcome sign

A lotta folks pass through and don't think twice

My heart's like a hometown, a few bumps in the road

And there's a couple spots where nobody goes

One half is growin' up

One half is runnin' down

If you ever find yourself lonely in a city crowd

Wonderin' if it's too late to turn around

Baby, you already know, you ain't even gotta ask

Jump in your car, put the pedal down

No matter how

Gone that you get, long that it's been

I know that you left

But I'll still let you right back in

'Cause my heart's like a hometown, you've always got a place

To put down some roots or spend a holiday

Where all your memories hang like jerseys in a high school gym

Where you left behind your used-to-bes and coulda-beens

In the rearview mirror

No, I ain't goin' nowhere

If you ever find yourself lonely in a city crowd

Wonderin' if it's too late to turn around

Baby, you already know, you ain't even gotta ask

Jump in your car, put the pedal down

No matter how

Gone that you get, long that it's been

I know that you left

But I'll still let you right back in

'Cause my heart's like a hometown

No matter how

Gone that you get, long that it's been

I know that you left

But I'll still let you right back in

Let you right back in, mmm

'Cause my heart's like a hometown

A wide-open door

And just because you left

It don't mean that it ain't yours
