Hometown's Where the Heart Is

It’s that patch of earth, sacred dirt that holds every first you had

All your way back when’s, all your kin, all your friends, where everyone you love is at

No matter how far you get away from it

Part of you stays and the part that doesn’t

Misses it bad, wishes it had, stuck around, settled down

No matter where you’re from or who you ask

It’s who are, your dot on the map

It’s why some folks stay and why most come back

It might let us go but when we go

It makes leavin’ the hardest

'Cause hometown’s where the heart is

Could be fields of gold, gravel roads, one stop light to slow you down

Or those never sleep city streets, just one in a million crowd

Don’t matter where or how

If they tore it all down you’re still gonna see it

The way that it was cuz that’s how you keep it

Even after you leave it

No matter where you’re from or who you ask

It’s who are, your dot on the map

It’s why some folks stay and why most come back

It might let us go but when we go

It makes leavin’ the hardest

'Cause hometown’s where the heart is

It’s that patch of earth, sacred dirt that holds every first you had

No matter where you’re from or who you ask

It’s who are, your dot on the map

It’s why some folks stay and why most come back

It might let us go but when we go

It makes leavin’ the hardest

'Cause hometown’s where the heart is

Hometown’s where the heart is
