Lyrics
0:11On the verge of a breakdown
0:15Back in her hometown
0:18Never thought she’d settle down
0:21In a place like this
0:24Cold coffee on the back porch
0:27Wooden chair rocking back and forth
0:30Now she wonders how it all went down
0:33Back in her hometown
0:37Most people never left
0:40Found a job and filled in the rest
0:43Never got around to leaving the nest
0:46Holding on to not let go
0:49But that path just wasn’t for her
0:52She got out faster than the fireworks
0:56Never took time to slow it down
0:59Now she’s back in her hometown
1:03Looking out at the cedars and the oaks
1:10The mourning dove sings beneath the sky of blue
1:16All the thoughts that led her out
1:20On that road, without a doubt
1:23Somewhere they fizzled out
1:26Now she’s back in her hometown
1:42What makes a life complete?
1:46Roads traveled and the people you meet?
1:49Or is just the silence
1:52Of the times in between?
1:55Her mind is racing as she sits alone
1:58In the place that she used to call home
2:02Memories are all around
2:04Back in her hometown
2:08Looking out at the light above the hills
2:15Her mama sings beneath the sky of blue
2:22All the thoughts that led her out
2:26On that road, without a doubt
2:29Somewhere they fizzled out
2:33Now she’s back in her hometown
On the verge of a breakdown Back in her hometown Never thought she’d settle down In a place like this Cold coffee on the back porch Wooden chair rocking back and forth Now she wonders how it all went down Back in her hometown Most people never left Found a job and filled in the rest Never got around to leaving the nest Holding on to not let go But that path just wasn’t for her She got out faster than the fireworks Never took time to slow it down Now she’s back in her hometown Looking out at the cedars and the oaks The mourning dove sings beneath the sky of blue All the thoughts that led her out On that road, without a doubt Somewhere they fizzled out Now she’s back in her hometown What makes a life complete? Roads traveled and the people you meet? Or is just the silence Of the times in between? Her mind is racing as she sits alone In the place that she used to call home Memories are all around Back in her hometown Looking out at the light above the hills Her mama sings beneath the sky of blue All the thoughts that led her out On that road, without a doubt Somewhere they fizzled out Now she’s back in her hometown
