Lyrics

Driving down this old familiar road

Nothing like the highway heading home

Something ?bout the air out here

Starts to make my senses clear

Thinking back when I was just a boy

And the simple things in life were still a joy


Back in the day

Family came first

And the town closed down for church

You didn?t need a card for credit at the store

Back in the day

Everyone knew

Not just your name but your history too

Every summer night all your friends were on your porch

Back in the day I?m longing for [not long ago]


Turning past the old abandoned mill

I see the lights of home up on the hill

When city life has worn me down

I hit the road for my home town

It?s almost like I travel back in time

And pick up where I left my life behind

Chorus
Bridge:

When values weren?t just discounts at the Five and Dime

And the best investment you could make was spending time

Chorus
