Comeback Town Songtext
You might think you're tired of Hank and "Kaw-Liga" on the radio dial
And over time that gravel drive gets longer than a country mile
Don't let your mind play tricks on you
The skies out there ain't quite this blue
In case you change your mind we'll leave on the lights
And them doors unlocked for you
You're gonna miss that Cherokee river
You're gonna wish them roads would wind
You're gonna hear that drawl a little thicker than the sap
That's drippin' off the Georgia pines
We got fields that go on forever
Wе got roots a mile deep in this ground
When you're young thеn you run
But then one day you'll turn it around
When you come from a comeback town
Ooh, y'all, comeback town
You might think the grass is greener out there on some coast
But once you get your bare feet wet out there where the concrete grows
You're gonna miss that Cherokee river
You're gonna wish them roads would wind
You're gonna hear that drawl a little thicker than the sap
That's drippin' off the Georgia pines
We got fields that go on forever
We got roots a mile deep in this ground
When you're young then you run
But then one day you'll turn it around
When you come from a comeback town
Ooh, y'all, comeback town
Homemade wine
Hand me down land
Chicken fries better in your grandma's pan
Oh, my, my, see the city lights
Do some livin' but give it some time
'Cause you're gonna miss that Cherokee river
You're gonna wish them roads would wind
You're gonna hear that drawl a little thicker than the sap
That's drippin' off the Georgia pines
We got fields that go on forever
We got roots a mile deep in this ground
When you're young then you run
But then one day you'll turn it around
When you come from a comeback town
Ooh, y'all, comeback town
When you come from a comeback town
Ooh, y'all, comeback town, yeah
And over time that gravel drive gets longer than a country mile
Don't let your mind play tricks on you
The skies out there ain't quite this blue
In case you change your mind we'll leave on the lights
And them doors unlocked for you
You're gonna miss that Cherokee river
You're gonna wish them roads would wind
You're gonna hear that drawl a little thicker than the sap
That's drippin' off the Georgia pines
We got fields that go on forever
Wе got roots a mile deep in this ground
When you're young thеn you run
But then one day you'll turn it around
When you come from a comeback town
Ooh, y'all, comeback town
You might think the grass is greener out there on some coast
But once you get your bare feet wet out there where the concrete grows
You're gonna miss that Cherokee river
You're gonna wish them roads would wind
You're gonna hear that drawl a little thicker than the sap
That's drippin' off the Georgia pines
We got fields that go on forever
We got roots a mile deep in this ground
When you're young then you run
But then one day you'll turn it around
When you come from a comeback town
Ooh, y'all, comeback town
Homemade wine

When you come from a comeback town
Ooh, y'all, comeback town
When you come from a comeback town
Ooh, y'all, comeback town, yeah
