Left this town when the world was wide and new
Chasing lights and dreams in every shade of blue
Now the same old streets are calling out my name
Trees are taller but the sunshine feels the same
Kids are laughing running wild by the river bend
Same old games we played when we were ten
My voice still carries the rhythm that I knew
But the mirror shows the years silver threads coming through
Oh the years keep rolling like a summer breeze
Taking me far away but bringing me back with ease
I'm back home back home with the sun shining down
My accent still dancing every time I open my mouth
Hair turning gray but my heart's still running free
Childhood echoes in the wind calling out to me
Time flies like a river rushing to the sea
But these golden days are living inside of me
Back home back home yeah I'm smiling through it all
Nothing stays the same but the feeling never falls
Fields are golden flowers blooming in the lane
Same sweet wind that carried all my childhood rain
Old friends wave like nothing ever changed
We chase the fireflies just like the old days
Stories spinning round the table late at night
Laughter louder than the crickets under moonlight
I see my younger self in every smiling face
Time may steal the years but it can't erase the grace
Oh the clock keeps ticking but the music plays on
Turning every ending to a brand new song
I'm back home back home with the sun shining down
My accent still dancing every time I open my mouth
Hair turning gray but my heart's still running free
Childhood echoes in the wind calling out to me
Time flies like a river rushing to the sea
But these golden days are living inside of me
Back home back home yeah I'm smiling through it all
Nothing stays the same but the feeling never falls
If I could bottle up these moments in the air
Keep the laughter keep the light without a care
But I know every sunset paints a brand new sky
So I'll dance right here and now no need to ask why
I'm back home back home (back home!)sun shining down
My accent still singing lifting me off the ground
Hair turning gray but I'm feeling twenty-one
Every memory sparkles like the morning sun
Time flies like a river but I'm riding the wave
Grateful for the journey every step I gave
Back home back home smiling through it all
The best of yesterday lives inside my soul
Back home with a smile yeah I'm back home
These echoes keep me dancing on
