They`re not really expecting me
But I know where they hide the key, under the welcome mat
There`s no better place than that
Don`t know how long I`ve been gone
All I know is it`s been too long and I`m off track
That`s why I`m coming back
When I see the lights of my hometown
I feel like the world stops spinning `round
Everything makes sense
Maybe it`s the innocence
I know it`s just a few miles down the road
I`m getting there as fast as I can go
I can always find peace of mind
In the lights of my hometown
The static is almost gone
From the station I grew up on
I`m getting closer now
So I turn it up real loud
Funny how a little thing like that
Can make it all come rushing back
They say it`s not the same
But to me it will never change
When I see the lights of my hometown
I feel like the world stops spinning `round
Everything makes sense
Maybe it`s the innocence
I know it`s just a few miles down the road
I`m getting there as fast as I can go
I can always find peace of mind
In the lights of my hometown
