Hometown Healing

Redneck hardware to gypsy soul

I was born to run like the river rolls

I'm that fire where you see that smoke

I'm a lone wolf howling

A red-tailed hawk that's done found its wings

I was ready to be high, wild, and free

As soon as I could, I couldn't wait to leave

And what I found is

Getting gone and raising hell showed me what I needed

'Cause that medicine and that man thought I was leaving

And it's been way too long away from them potluck Alabama roots, yeah

And I need some tomato-growing ground up under these boots

If I'm gonna find my way back to that old me feeling

Just what the doctor ordered, I need some my-crowd, hometown healing

Listen, get on back to where it started

The baby blue pews and the magic carpet

Mountaintop tread, day farmer's market

And let it flow right through ya

Momma's got gossip in the beauty shop

While my daddy's making sure that supper gets caught

Sister blowing smoke in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot

That's my remedy

It's been way too long away from them potluck Alabama roots, yeah

And I need some tomato-growing ground up under these boots

If I'm gonna find my way back to that old me feeling

Just what the doctor ordered, I need some my-crowd, hometown healing

Yeah, some of that hometown healing, yeah

Oh, that Appalachian highway, hand me down Chevrolet, where everybody talks with a drawl

Catfish buffet fried right at the lake, hush puppies sitting by the slaw

Start to feel better, everybody get together and it's hard not to believe in

The front pew praying, back road waving, down home hometown healing

It's been way too long away from them potluck Alabama roots, yeah

And I need some tomato-growing ground up under these boots, yeah

If I'm gonna find my way back to that old me feeling

Just what the doctor ordered, I need some my-crowd, hometown healing

Some my-crowd, hometown healing, yeah, some of that hometown healing, babe

Yeah, yeah, hometown healing
