Back to Reverie

[Verse 1] I left Reverie, Tennessee, with a guitar on my back Chasin’ down the city lights, never thought I’d look back But the fields of home kept callin’, in the whisper of the pines And your face came flashin’ through those neon signs [Pre-Chorus] I tried to outrun memories, but they found me anyway Every song I sing just pulls me back your way [Chorus] ’Cause I’m a fish out of the Mississippi water A runaway son, but a small-town wanderer My heart’s been driftin’ far too long, darlin’, can’t you see? I’m comin’ home to where I’m meant to be Back to the roots that branded me Back to you… back to Reverie [Verse 2] There were dreams I had to follow, roads I had to take But the price of leavin’ you was a hurt I can’t shake Is the porch light still burnin’? Are you waitin’ on that hill? Or did time steal all the pieces that I’m hopin’ for still? [Pre-Chorus] I keep wonderin’ if your heart moved on or stayed with mine But I gotta face it now, it’s time to cross that line [Chorus] ’Cause I’m a fish out of the Mississippi water A runaway son, but a small-town wanderer My heart’s been driftin’ far too long, darlin’, can’t you see? I’m comin’ home to where I’m meant to be Back to the roots that branded me Back to you… back to Reverie [Bridge – Swinging / Bluegrass lift] Maybe you found someone to dry the tears I made you cry Maybe love moved on, or maybe it never said goodbye But I’ll take my chances, girl, whatever waits for me I’d rather lose than live without what home is meant to be [Final Chorus – Upbeat & emotional] ’Cause I’m a fish out of the Mississippi water A weary soul, but a true heart caller No city dream can d***n the truth inside of me I’m headin’ back to where my story’s free Back to the life that’s callin’ me Back to you… back to Reverie [Outro] Yeah, I’m comin’ home… Back to Reverie.
