Back where i belong

(Verse 1) I packed my bags on a Sunday morn’, Chasin’ lights where dreams are born, Left that gravel road and mama’s prayer, Thought I’d find my heaven somewhere out there. Now it’s city noise and sleepless nights, Neon glow instead of firefly lights, I’ve got money, fame, and a fancy view, But I’d trade it all to be back with you. (Chorus) ‘Cause I miss that front porch swing, The church bells and the freedom ring, The smell of rain on an old dirt lane, And the sound of my daddy singin’ my name. I thought I’d find my dream out here, I was wrong, Now I’m just a heart that don’t belong… Wishing I was home — Back where I belong. (Verse 2) There’s a picture hangin’ by my bed, Of a field of gold and skies of red, I still hear laughter through the corn, Every time the night feels cold and worn. Mama writes me letters sayin’, “Son, come home,” But pride’s a heavy thing when you’ve grown, Still I close my eyes and see that place, That small town love I can’t replace. (Chorus) Yeah, I miss that front porch swing, The church bells and the freedom ring, The smell of rain on an old dirt lane, And the sound of my daddy singin’ my name. I thought I’d find my dream out here, I was wrong, Now I’m just a heart that don’t belong… Wishing I was home — Back where I belong. (Bridge) Maybe someday I’ll turn this truck around, Head back east to that sleepy town, Where the stars still shine and hearts stay true, That’s the dream I’m chasin’ now — it’s you. (Final Chorus) ‘Cause I miss that front porch swing, The church bells and the freedom ring, That barefoot love, that country song, Those memories that still roll on. I thought I’d lost my dream, but I was wrong, It was waitin’ for me all along… Back where I belong.
