Additional Lyrics:
The sidewalks down here they go forever and they always seem to meet you with a
smile. If they don't park their cars out where they shouldn't, I believe you can
see clear for a mile. There's a tree on Maple street it turns so yellow, it turns
loose and leaves the ground it turns to gold. My car always knows what gear to be
in and my feet can always take me home. So good to be home.
The lights here they could spin the head of a young man into thinking that the
whole town loves you. But your heart is not protected from the city. It might help
to get you through. The downtown has given me some problems and we've all had some
growing up to do. Walking on cars and across the tops of buildings. I think that
God was probably laughing too.
Down the street my neighbor's son is walking and the north side's getting bigger
all the time. I owe the girl down at the library some money. She says she's just
gonna let it slide. In my mind every single day is sunny. It's so bright it almost
hurts my eyes to see. When the rain is pourin' out over the gutters. I thank the
Lord just to be here in Tennessee. So good to be home.
Half a mile now from the border. half a mile just to roll my windows down. Sitting
staring at the windshield telling myself. "Not too much further now." I call David
up to see what he is doing and I pass him as he's getting in his car. Down the
road and take a right down state of Franklin and we'll piss the night away down at
the bar. So good to be home.
