Down by the river we used to play
Under the skies turning purple and gray
Streetlights flickered like stars in a line
Back to my hometown where we spent our time
Old oak tree where names were carved deep
Memories so vivid they haunt when I sleep
Echoes of laughter in every cracked stone
Back to my hometown where I'm never alone
Brick walls and whispers of tales long gone
Midnight rides and the break of dawn
Voices of friends that I'll never disown
Back to my hometown where my roots have grown
Corner café with the same old chairs
Faces familiar with love and their stares
Ghosts of the past in every street sign
Back to my hometown where love's intertwined
Rusty swings and the old basketball court
Lifelong dreams and the battles we fought
Each little crack in the pavement tells a story
Back to my hometown with all its glory
Brick walls and whispers of tales long gone
Midnight rides and the break of dawn
Voices of friends that I'll never disown
Back to my hometown where my roots have grown
