David Nail - Turning Home lyrics

rate me

<br>Usually take one last pass through town <br>Stop the car and touch the ground <br>Watch those streetlights swayin’ in the breeze <br>Decorated store fronts <br>Rusty old gas pumps <br>Try to fill my mind up <br>With somethin’ before I go <br>Picture postcard memories <br>You know they always make for good company <br> <br>I don’t know no town <br>Like the old town <br>Even when the miles are many <br>I feel like I’m still around <br>Deep inside me <br>Like rings through an oak tree <br>Yeah there something ‘bout a Sunday when I’m gone <br>That keeps me turning home <br> <br>I’m standin’ here beneath these billboard lights <br>Takes me back to those autumn nights <br>Hometown bleachers packed real tight <br>As we marched down the field <br>My feet would swing from a dropped tailgate <br>Out on Airport Road real late <br>No one could walk a line too straight <br>We usually made it home alright <br>And glory days I cant re-live <br>Stories I’ll never forget <br> <br>And I don’t know no friends <br>Like the old friends <br>I never seem to laugh now <br>Like I did with them <br>But deep inside me <br>A piece of history <br>Yeah I hear their voices even though they’re gone <br>And it keeps me turning home <br> <br>Never twice the same way does it start <br>And sure enough she stole my heart <br>On the old gym floor <br>spinnin’ round and round one night <br>And though we both tried hard to wait <br>We sure did love the taste <br>Of the sweet love being made <br>and prayin’ I got it right <br>Graduation came and went <br>Along with all the time we spent <br> <br>And I don’t know no love <br>Like the first love <br>When I think about the best times <br>She’s the one I think of <br>Deep inside me <br>All though the taste is bittersweet <br>I see her smilin’ even though she’s gone <br>And it keeps me turning home yeah <br>And it keeps me turning home<br><!-- stopprint -->
