Wouldn't Be Home

If I didn't make you think of your mama's kitchen Your front porch, sound of the crickets crickin' Where the summers went fast and came back slow If it don't take you back to the night when you picked her up in That hand-me-down car that was barely runnin' First time that she didn't tell you "no" It wouldn't be home If it didn't make you miss The way it used to be If it wasn't for the people That are hard to leave If it didn't have a story down every road Trust me I know It wouldn't be home If it didn't make you think about some old fling If she ever got around to a new last name Makes you wonder what might've Could've turned out different It wouldn't be home If it didn't take you back To the last game that you played in The burn on the bourbon the first time you tasted A little white church that your family prayed in And they still go It wouldn't be home If it didn't make you miss The way it used to be If it wasn't for the people That are hard to leave If it didn't have a story down every road Trust me I know It wouldn't be home If it didn't make you wanna Drive past the school Laugh about all the stupid things you used to do It makes you wanna take a U-turn and relive it It wouldn't be home If it wasn't that place That you couldn't wait to leave If it wasn't where every out there road still leads It wouldn't be home If it didn't make you miss The way it used to be If it wasn't for the people That are hard to leave If it didn't have a story down every road It wouldn't be home If it didn't make you wanna go back inside That house when your granddad was still alive Makes you proud that he accent where he gave it It wouldn't be home if it didn't You know It wouldn't be home if it didn't Yeah Wouldn't be home if it didn't
