Down This Road Lyrics

Been away much longer than I would have liked
Got caught up in that nine to five
Ain't seen my mama in too many nights
But I'm coming home, down this road

I drive past the postman who still knows my name
Hearin' those old church bells, seems little has changed
All those city lights never made me feel this way
As I go down this road, oh down this road

Got my apartment on the 17th floor
Living off coffee and the promise of more
Seems I've forgotten what all this living is for
But I'm coming home, just a small town girl

I roll down my window, let the sunshine in
Smile at the creek where I had my first kiss
No matter where I go there's always happiness
When I go down this road, oh down this road

And I find that sometimes
This heart cries for home

I know that I'll be headed back soon
And to the fast pace I've grown used to
But this time going doesn't mean leaving
'Cause this place will always be with me

I get to my driveway see my daddy there
Seems like he's grown a few more gray hairs
Time can't change the fact that I'm his little girl
As I go down this road, woah down this road

And I step out the car back into my own skin
Smile at the house that I grew up in
No matter where I go there's always happiness
When I go down this road, oh down this road
