Home We Choose

She's eighteen with a dream

Guitar and boxes in the back seat

Mama cried the whole way to Tennessee

He's twenty-one college almost done

He could move back to where he's from

But that degree is taking him to the city

Ooh, ooh, with these twists and turns in life

Ooh, ooh, sure can leave some things behind

We're all lookin' for some somewhere to be found

A steady place where we can plant our roots

We're all lost until we find some solid ground

A front porch step where we can set our boots

Whether it's states away, two doors down

A place that's old or new

We all got a hometown, and the home we choose

We all got a hometown, and the home we choose

You can stay where you were raised

Ain't nothing but a street name changed

'Cause the grass ain't greener anywhere else

You can pack up a Uhaul truck

At any age, nah, you ain't stuck

You can make a brand new start and find yourself

We're all lookin' for some somewhere to be found

A steady place where we can plant our roots

We're all lost until we find some solid ground

A front porch step where we can set our boots

Whether it's states away, two doors down

A place that's old or new

We all got a hometown, and the home we choose

We all got a hometown, and the home we choose

We all got different stories

Different dots on the same map

We're all where we're supposed to be

Right here where we're at

We're all lookin' for somewhere to be found

A steady place where we can plant our roots

We're all lost until we find some solid ground

A front porch step where we can set our boots

Whether it's states away, two doors down

A place that's old or new

We all got a hometown, and the home we choose

We all got a hometown, and the home we choose
