"Home We Choose" lyrics

She's 18 with a dream
Guitar and boxes in the back seat
Mama cried the whole way to Tennessee
He's 21 college almost done
He could move back to where he's from
But that degree is taking him to the city

With these twists and turns in life
We sure can leave some things behind

We're all lookin for some somewhere to be found
A steady place where we can plant our roots
We're all lost until we find some solid ground
A front porch step where we can set our boots
Whether it's states away, two doors down
A place that's old or new
We all got a hometown, and the home we choose
We all got a hometown, and the home we choose

You can stay where you were raised
Ain't nothing but a street name changed
Cause the grass ain't greener anywhere else
You can pack up a uhaul truck
At any age, nah you ain't stuck
You can make a brand new start and find yourself

We're all lookin for some somewhere to be found
A steady place where we can plant our roots
We're all lost until we find some solid ground
A front porch step where we can set our boots
Whether it's states away, two doors down
A place that's old or new
We all got a hometown, and the home we choose
We all got a hometown, and the home we choose

We all got different stories
Different dots on the same map
We're all where we're supposed to be
Right here where we're at

We're all lookin for somewhere to be found
A steady place where we can plant our roots
We're all lost until we find some solid ground
A front porch step where we can set our boots
Whether it's states away, two doors down
A place that's old or new
We all got a hometown, and the home we choose
We all got a hometown, and the home we choose
