Nothin' like a slow down
From a pretty girl your home town
Smilin' as she drives away
Kind of thing that makes my day
Big splash, buzz bait bite
River fish put up a fight
Gonna fry him up tonight
Call my friends
But Cody he'll start drinking and
Then thinking 'bout the war
I wonder If he'll ever be
The same he was before
Nothing's gonna stop the world from turning
So I just cut the wood and keep the homefires burning
Most times Friday night
Me and Paige go get a bite
Kinda like it used to be
Back when we were seventeen
Drop by the football game
Check the score, then pull away
Go find that special place
We used to park
Another home town hero
Who just ends up spinning wheels
But I prefer a pace of life
Where all the folks are real
Nothing's gonna stop the world from turning
So I just cut the wood and keep the homefires burning
I could travel the world with a song and a kiss
But if I did that look at all that I'd miss
