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 people you meet?
 Or is just the silence
 Of the times in between?
 Her mind's 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
 Back in her hometown
 ♪
 Somewhere they fizzled out
 Back in her hometown
