Song Description

A man is driving home after being away for many years. As he drivers he makes a promise to never let himself forget where he came from.

Lyrics

FINDING MY WAY BACK HOME

There's something 'bout an open road
Driving through the night
Got my mind on cruise control
While memories thumb a ride
I see a kid on weekend mornings
Facing his day with a joy I used to know

Defenses come rolling down
Till I get a better view
With each mile I bump off years
Till all my dreams shake loose
I make a promise to that kid back then
I'm coming home to never leave you again

CHORUS: FINDING MY WAY BACK HOME
IS LIKE MEETING AN OLD FRIEND
FROM A LONG TIME AGO
I'VE BEEN WINDING MY WAY DOWN
THROUGH THE LOST AND FOUND
NOW I'M FINDING MY WAY HOME

There's a reason for it all
When you're driving down your dreams
There's no such thing as chance
When you're on life's highway
'Cause every detour in between
is all a part of what this homecoming means

CHORUS: FINDING MY WAY BACK HOME
IS LIKE MEETING AN OLD FRIEND
FROM A LONG TIME AGO
I'VE BEEN WINDING MY WAY DOWN
THROUGH THE LOST AND FOUND
NOW I'M FINDING MY WAY HOME

BRIDGE: I've been scared and I've been down
There's no doubt about it
I've lost my faith and lost some ground
And now I've found a place to go
It's a place that I have come to know by heart
