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
