Feels Like Home
Ten years old, hair running wildDirt on my face and a naughty smileI was so in love with the place that I called home
Fourteen, growing up fastChasing boys and skipping classDouble daring on the kiss me back, scared down to the bone
'Cause there's no one that I gotta be, it all comes down to the simple thingsIt feels like home and family, my feet in the red clayMy heart runs like the Mississippi, all the way back from the big cityWhen the sun goes down at the end of the day, nowhere else can make me feel this wayIt feels like homeIt feels like homeIt feels like homeIt feels like homeFeels like home
Sixteen on a jet planeYeah, nothing's ever gonna be the sameWay out here, it don't even rainIn the city of angels
Even though I like it hereI get scared that I'll disappearSo I close my eyes, start clicking my heelsI remember how it feels
When there's no one that I gotta be, it all comes down to the simple thingsIt feels like home and family, my feet in the red clayMy heart runs like the Mississippi, all the way back from the big cityAnd when the sun goes down at the end of the day,Nowhere else can make me feel this wayIt feels like homeIt feels like homeIt feels like homeIt feels like homeFeels like home
It's where I learned to drive back when I was thirteenMy dad gave me the wheel then said, "Give it back to me."Summer days down at walnut grove lakeWe were thinking we were cool like '96 in the shadeTelling secrets in the southern moonlight,The way my mom said it's alright to roam,But this is home
No one that I gotta be, it all comes down to the simple thingsIt feels like home and family, my feet in the red clayMy heart runs like the Mississippi, all the way back from the big cityAnd when the sun goes down at the end of the day, nowhere else can make me feel this wayIt feels like homeIt feels like homeIt feels like homeIt feels like homeFeels like home
