Eatin' strawberry pie in a mid-town diner
|
Next thing you know you're back in South Carolina
|
Stuffin' your mouth at Grandma's house
|
|
Then a lady in a booth gets onto her kids
|
Lays down the law like your mama did
|
And it makes you smile 'cause every once in a while
|
|
We all go home to a place and a time
|
In our hearts and our minds
|
That we just can't outgrow
|
|
There's a tie that'll bind you
|
And love that'll find you
|
No matter where you go
|
Someday, someway we all go home
|
|
You tell yourself the grass is greener
|
That Podunk town ain't the place for a dreamer
|
Throw a dart at a map and you don't look back
|
|
Try to change your clothes and the way you talk
|
One day you slip on that Southern drawl
|
And you have to laugh, yeah, just like that
|
|
We all go home to a place and a time
|
In our hearts and our minds
|
That we just can't outgrow
|
|
There's a tie that'll bind you
|
And love that'll find you
|
No matter where you go
|
Someday, someway we all go home
|
|
The choir sings and the preacher talks
|
Six of your old friends take you for a walk
|
Up that shady hill, yeah, someday they will
|
|
We all go, we all go home
|
|
There's a tie that'll bind you
|
And love that'll find you
|
No matter where you go
|
Someday, someway we all go home
|
|
We all go home
|
We all go home
|
We all go home
|
We all go home
|
|

We All Go Home
