Feels Like Home

Intro: Ten years old, hair running wild Dirt on my face and a naughty smile I was so in love with the place that I called home Fourteen, growing up fast Chasing boys and skipping class Double daring on the kiss me back, scared down to the bone 'Cause there's no one that I gotta be, it all comes down to the simple things It feels like home and family, my feet in the red clay My heart runs like the Mississippi, all the way back from the big city When the sun goes down at the end of the day, nowhere else can make me feel this way It feels like home It feels like home It feels like home It feels like home Feels like home Sixteen on a jet plane Yeah, nothing's ever gonna be the same Way out here, it don't even rain In the city of angels Even though I like it here I get scared that I'll disappear So I close my eyes, start clicking my heels I remember how it feels When there's no one that I gotta be, it all comes down to the simple things It feels like home and family, my feet in the red clay My heart runs like the Mississippi, all the way back from the big city When the sun goes down at the end of the day, nowhere else can make me feel this way It feels like home It feels like home It feels like home It feels like home Feels like home It's where I learned to drive back when I was thirteen My dad gave me the wheel then said, "Give it back to me." Summer days down at walnut grove lake We were thinking we were cool like '96 in the shade Telling secrets in the southern moonlight, The way my mom said it's alright to roam, But this is home no one that I gotta be, it all comes down to the simple things It feels like home and family, my feet in the red clay My heart runs like the Mississippi, all the way back from the big city When the sun goes down at the end of the day, nowhere else can make me feel this way It feels like home It feels like home It feels like home It feels like home Feels like home
