Back Home

George Strait still playin' on the FM radio dial in the kitchen

Smellin' my old man's cigarette and my sweet mama's Southern fried chicken

Yard seems small, that magnolias grown

Man, it sure feels good to be back home

Yeah, it does

That state champ sign on the highway takes me back to my senior year

That muddy river water and my future seemed to be just about as clear

Graduation night, I was good as gone

Man, it sure feels good to be back home

Home, where it all went down

Growin' up hell bound

On killin' beers and time

Girls comin' along for the ride

Up high slidin' over close

No red lights 'cause yellow meant go

We were breakin' rules more than we should

Love was sweet and life was good

Can't count the memories that keep hittin' me like a train

The talk, the town, folks hangin' around, thank God ain't nothing changed

That Waffle House sign still missin' that O

Man, it sure feels good to be back home

Home, where it all went down

Growin' up hell bound

On killin' beers and time

Girls comin' along for the ride

Up high slidin' over close

No red lights 'cause yellow meant go

We were breakin' rules more than we should

Love was sweet and life was good

Oh, yeah

I'm gonna shut it down for a couple days

Get the old man's boat out on the lake

Might get a little wild, just the boys and me, like we used to do

It's good to be

Home, where it all went down

Growin' up hell bound

On killin' beers and time

Girls comin' along for the ride

Up high slidin' over close

No red lights 'cause yellow meant go

We were breakin' rules more than we should

Love was sweet and life was good

Yeah, we were breakin' rules more than we should

Yeah, love was sweet and life was good
