Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Life's been coming at me like a fastball
Been in the weeds, be nice to see some corn growin' tall
Need to trade some "Hurry up" for some "Hey, y'all"
Oh, and I can't hug my momma through these phone calls
Need to drive, through the pines
See my boys, wet a line
And drink a beer on the edge of town
Been striking out
[Verse 2]
It's time I hit a home run
Point it toward that south sun
I'll be touchin' bases with them faces
All them places I ain't been to in way too long
'Cause I've been way too gone
Swingin' for the fences I've been missin' where I come from
It's time I hit a home run
[Verse 3]
I need to hear that skillet poppin' in the kitchen
Stop and smell the magnolias
I'll be on a mission
Maybe go and pay that tombstone a visit
Ain't felt nothing that real in a minute
[Verse 4]
It's time I hit a home run
Point it toward that south sun
I'll be touchin' bases with them faces
All them places I ain't been to in way too long
'Cause I've been way too gone
Swingin' for the fences I've been missin' where I come from
It's time I hit a home run
[Verse 5]
I might leave tonight
'Cause what I need is waiting on me past that welcome sign
Home run
Runnin' back to those dreams I used to have when I was 17
Home run
[Verse 6]
It's time I hit a home run
Point it toward that south sun
I'll be touchin' bases with them faces
All them places I ain't been to in way too long
'Cause I've been way too gone
Swingin' for the fences I've been missin' where I come from
It's time I hit a home run
Tonight I need a home run
Home run
I might leave tonight
