Well I miss my hometown, where the streets all know my name
Where the folks are friendly, and the sunshine ain't to blame
I'll tell you, there's just somethin' 'bout that small-town feel
Where every face you pass, they got a story to reveal
Oh, I'm yearnin' to be back where I belong
Where the memories are sweet and the nights are long
I miss the twinkle of those city lights
But my heart is callin, back to those familiar sights
From the football games on Friday nights
To sippin' sweet tea under the porch lights
I can't help but feel a tug on my soul
To go back to where the rivers flow and the country roads take me home
Oh, I'm yearnin' to be back where I belong
Where the memories are sweet and the nights are long
I miss the twinkle of those city lights
But my heart is callin, back to those familiar sights
From the football games on Friday nights
To sippin' sweet tea under the porch lights
I can't help but feel a tug on my soul
To go back to where the rivers flow and the country roads take me home
I miss the smell of grandma's apple pie
And the sound of laughter driftin' through the sky
In this crazy world, it's the simple things
That bring me back to where my heart sings
Oh, I'm yearnin' to be back where I belong
Where the memories are sweet and the nights are long
I miss the twinkle of those city lights
Ohh I miss it
