"Home (NC)" lyrics

The city just ain't for me
I'm a willow tree blowing in a mountain breeze
I feel lost in these busy streets
I need a sleepy backroad but the city never sleeps
I was raised off where the dirt road starts
Far from home and it's breaking my heart
I miss my old friends, old ways
Everything about them old days

And I'd trade (I'd trade) these four lanes for faded yellow paint
On some blacktop paved for two
I'd trade it all, the fast life
If it'd only lead me to you
And I'd run right through that city limit sign
In a short bed Ford headed right for the pines
I'd leave it all behind, this ain't me
Home is where I wanna be

A town like this won't get you far
Go 'head girl and grab those stars
Take all your scars and hit the road
I flew too fast and didn't miss a note
Now I'm starving for a taste of where I'm from
Up against something I can't outrun (Can't outrun)
Brought my past and what I've done along

But I'd trade these four lanes for faded yellow paint
On some blacktop paved for two
I'd trade it all, the fast life
If it'd lead me to of you
And I'd run right through that city limit sign
In a short bed Ford headed right for the pines
I'd leave it all behind, this ain't me
Home is where I wanna be

Four lanes with faded yellow paint
On some blacktop paved for two
I'd trade it all, the fast life
If it would lead me to love you
And I'd run right through that city limit sign
In a short bed Ford headed right for the pines
I'd leave it all behind, this ain't me
Home is where I wanna be
Where I wanna be
