Lyrics

Neon lights on a downtown stage
High heels and a borrowed sound
They said shine a little brighter
If you wanna play this town
So I traded boots for glitter
And a fiddle for a beat
But every night behind the curtain
Something felt incomplete

I tried to sing their songs their way
But my heart kept pulling me back

I’m coming home
Back to the porch light and the gravel road
Back to a six-string and a steel guitar
And the songs I used to know
Back where the truth don’t need no disguise
Back where my roots run strong
I tried to be somebody else too long
But tonight I’m coming home

Crowds were cheering in the city
But the noise felt far away
Like applause through a window
On a cold December day
I missed the sound of crickets
And a band playing three chords slow
Where the stories hit you honest
And the words come from the soul

Turns out you can chase a dream so far
You forget where you belong

I’m coming home
Back to the porch light and the gravel road
Back to a six-string and a steel guitar
And the songs I used to know
Back where the truth don’t need no disguise
Back where my roots run strong
I tried to be somebody else too long
But tonight I’m coming home

There’s a little girl in Tennessee
Still singing in my bones
Barefoot in the living room
With the radio on
She never needed neon lights
To feel where she belonged

I’m coming home
Back to the heartbeat of a country song
Back to the dirt and the red clay dust
Where my soul’s been all along
Back to the stories that raised my voice
Back where my heart belongs
I tried to be somebody else too long
But tonight…
Yeah tonight…
I’m coming home
Just me, this guitar
And the truth in every song
Yeah tonight I finally found
Where I belong
