Original lyrics
ENMy heart's like a hometown with a welcome sign
A lotta folks pass through and don't think twice
My heart's like a hometown, a few bumps in the road
And there's a couple spots where nobody goes
One half is growin' up
One half is runnin' down
If you ever find yourself lonely in a city crowd
Wonderin' if it's too late to turn around
Baby, you already know, you ain't even gotta ask
Jump in your car, put the pedal down
No matter how
Gone that you get, long that it's been
I know that you left
But I'll still let you right back in
'Cause my heart's like a hometown, you've always got a place
To put down some roots or spend a holiday
Where all your memories hang like jerseys in a high school gym
Where you left behind your used-to-bes and coulda-beens
In the rearview mirror
No, I ain't goin' nowhere
If you ever find yourself lonely in a city crowd
Wonderin' if it's too late to turn around
Baby, you already know, you ain't even gotta ask
Jump in your car, put the pedal down
No matter how
Gone that you get, long that it's been
I know that you left
But I'll still let you right back in
'Cause my heart's like a hometown
No matter how
Gone that you get, long that it's been
I know that you left
But I'll still let you right back in
Let you right back in, mmm
'Cause my heart's like a hometown
A wide-open door
And just because you left
It don't mean that it ain't yours
