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
