Headed Home |
LyricsThree letters flicker neonOn a burned out diner sign And the parking lot is empty Except for big rigs in a line There?s some old men at the counter Who?d come in from the rain Passing time by nursing coffee Until they can hit the road again... And there?s a waitress pouring coffee She looks an awful lot like you. Except your eyes are soft and round And chestnut brown...hers are china blue. She said ?Hun pass your cup and I?ll warm you up If you want me to.? We shared a smile and we talked awhile Then I headed home to you. Headed Home To the place where I belong Headed Home On a road that?s been too long. I lost my dreams along the way But one dream has come true. I?ve got Nashville in my rearview mirror And I?m headed home to you. I played my old guitar in corner bars Just to get my music heard Where lonely lost and desperate souls Hung on every word. They put money in my tip jar And they passed the hat around. They said ?son you might just make it big If you can get the Nashville sound BRIDGE I got to get out of these old blue jeans I?m under paid and under fed I got to get out of this motel room I got to sleep in my own bed. I got to get out of this rut I?m in I?ve got to climb out of this hole. I got to get on out of Nashville While I?ve still got my soul I got some money in my pocket And a pick up full of gas Heading home without a compass Just your picture on the dash. For every dollar that I earned here It always seemed like I spent two. I?m going to drink this cup...then settle up And I?ll be headed home to you. Headed Home To the place where I belong Headed Home On a road that?s been too long. I lost my dreams along the way But one dream has come true. I?ve got Nashville in my rearview mirror And I?m headed home to you. REPEAT CHORUS |
