Nappy Roots - Back Home lyrics

rate me

<i>[?]</i>

You know what I'm talkin about?

Lifes good but it definitely ain't easy

Remember we was kids, just nappy headed, greasy

Everything was simple, just like we saw on tv

My how time flies, quick, fast, in 3D

Yesterday was fun and tomorrows never promised

Today is the moment that we sieze and we squeeze

See, life is full of choices and opporunities they sometimes hard to come by, they knock once and they leave;

Leaves in the fall is when I miss the summer breeze

When the seasons start to change what remain are the trees

We are the same like the birds and the bees

Even educated fiends find it strange to believe

Nevermind the truth; it can be it as it seems

The answers that we seek are deeply rooted in our dreams

Why things happen usually end in diamond rings

And what often makes us happy leaves one envious in greed, c'mon

<i>[Chorus:]</i>

We can make it on our own

But we ain't got to be alone

Just in case when things go wrong

You can always come back home

Where you'll always be a star

Doesn't matter who you are

Even when you go too far

You can always come back home

Ya'll know how it feel when you come from outta town

That familiar smell when the window come down

Catch up with sports center, let me sit down

Walk to the corner, and see what went down

Never thought id be back on my mamas couch

Love me to death but cant wait till I get out

John Wall, he got me thinking bout <i>[?]</i>

Downtown <i>[?]</i>, those were the days

<i>[?]</i>

Ridin through country rolls, spittin and flow

Blocked out western <i>[?]</i>

<i>[?]</i>

Wizard of oz on em, click my heels

<i>[?]</i> it's that real

Years ago I shot my first video

But the way they actin now, just wouldn't know

<i>[Chorus]</i>

Aight take me back to south Carolina

Outside clubs <i>[?]</i> leavin <i>[?]</i>

We were so drunk where the owners didn't mind us

Plus we gave posters, course we gon' sign em

Next stop Athens, man I love Athens

Wake up with a smile like 'damn what just happened'

In tenn. Now passin UT

I love gattlinburg, it's good for <i>[?]</i>

Stop and <i>[?]</i> cause gas is so cheap

<i>[?]</i> she cook us something to eat

Can't wait to see the signs from <i>[?]</i>?

Stop by and see the whole crib on center street

Roll some <i>[?]</i> and keep movin

Kentucky legs look real good but we cruising

Call mama up to see what's on the stove

See no matter where I go I can come back home

She told me, seasons change, I feel like goin back to where I came

Just to find out that nothing stays the same

These are the good ol' days

These are the good ol' days

<i>[Chorus]</i>

Come back home, come back home, come back home, come back, come back home, come back, come back home, come on back when the world treats you nasty, when friends turn their back, when people <i>[?]</i>, come on, come on, come on...
