Been away much longer than I would of liked Got caught up in that nine to five Ain't seen my mama in too many nights But I'm coming home, down this road
And I drive past the postman who still knows my name Hearin' those old church bells, seems little has changed And all those city lights never made me feel this way As I go down this road, oh down this road
Got my apartment on the 17th floor Livin' off coffee and the promise of more Seems I've forgotten what all this livin' is for But I'm coming home, just a small town girl
And I roll down my window, let the sunshine in Smile at the creek where I had my first kiss No matter where I go there's always happiness When I go down this road, oh down this road
And I find that sometimes This heart cries for home
And I know that I'll be headed back soon To the fast pace I've grown used to But this time goin' doesn't mean leavin' Cause this place will always be with me
And I get to my driveway see my Daddy there Seems like he's grown a few more grey hairs And time can't change the fact that I'm his little girl As I go down this road, down this road
(Whoa and) I step out the car back into my own skin Smile at the house that I grew up in No matter where I go there's always happiness when I go down this road, down this road
