Garret Johnston - This Is My Home Lyrics

Same old thing you always hear
Small town boys sitting by the pier, yeah
Casting lines and drinking sweet tea
75 degrees we were making memories
But we hit high school and started changing
Our priorities were rearranging, yeah
Burning gasoline, rubber, and time
Those small town memories are always on my mind
This was our freedom and our song
We had a place where we belonged
This was my life
Through all the strife
All the pain and all the rain was worth it when our song was sang
This was my town
Riding 'round, windows down
Five minutes of fame from a band on stage
Even though the times have changed
I hope they stay the same, yeah
Friday nights we sang "Turn the Page"
We had jobs that paid minimum wage, yeah
But we had fun the "crooked letter I"
Girls come front row, we'd give 'em our best pickup lines
This was our freedom and our song
We had a place where we belonged
This was my life
Through all the strife
All the pain and all the rain was worth it when our song was sang
This was my town
Riding 'round, windows down
Five minutes of fame from a band on stage
Even though the times have changed
I hope they stay the same
But I return in my mind
To a better place and a better time
Living small town freedom like a dream
'Cause I will always sing
This is my home
East Central zone
Mississippi always with me, living life like a country song
This is my town
Riding 'round, windows down
Caught a little fame from a band on stage
Looking for a name with the song I sang
Even though the times have changed
Even though the times have changed
I hope they stay the same, yeah
