Right Back Home

It's been just me since I was eighteen
Taking on the world
But they'll always be a part of me that's still that little girl
Down by the creek, no shoes on my feet
Holding my sister's hand
Jumping into the water, ooh, ooh

When the road gets long and I feel alone
That fate turns into doubt
I stay strong and just carry on
'Cause papa taught me how
Guess I made up the kind of love that's family tell
And lives in this small town daughter
No, it don't matter where I go

When I'm far away
Sometimes all it takes is the sound of the trees blowing in the breeze
The warmth of the Sun kissing my cheek
And our soul right there, playing by the rocking chair
Hearing mama calling supper's on
And I'm right back home

My first date was in the shade
Underneath that back yard oak
You stole my heart right from the start
I was wrapped in that leather coat
His kiss was sweet, still gets to me
That memory is one that I'll never forget
Yeah, it makes me smile every now and then

When I'm far away
Sometimes all it takes is the sound of the trees blowing in the breeze
I still feel him kissing my cheek
And our soul right there, his fingers running through my hair
Every time I hear our favorite song
I'm right back home
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
I'm right back home
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

It's like you know when I need it most
You name lights up my phone
And, somehow, this cold hotel room feels a little more like home

When I'm far away
Sometimes all it takes is the sound of the trees blowing in the breeze
The warmth of the Sun kissing my cheek
And our soul right there, playing by the rocking chair
(Right there)
Hearing mama calling supper's on
Ooh, it's kinda like I've been there all along
Right back home
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
I'm right back home
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Ooh, ooh
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la)
