Lyrics
SEVENTEEN WILD AND FREE
I SET OUT ON MY OWN
SEARCHIN' FOR THE AMERICA
I COULD NOT FIND AT HOME
BACK ROADS AND RODEOS
I RODE FROM TOWN TO TOWN
A POWERFUL YEARNIN' IN MY HEART
THAT WOULD NOT LET ME SETTLE DOWN
AFTER ALL THIS TIME
I FIND
THIS IS MY TOWN
I'M RIGHT BACK WHERE I STARTED
MY TOWN
HOME IS WHERE MY HEART IS
MY TOWN
I NEVER REALLY LEFT YOU
MY TOWN
MY HOMETOWN
I TOOK A WALK DOWN MAIN STREET
IT ALL LOOKED THE SAME
THE TOWN SQUARE WAS STILL RIGHT THERE
GUESS I'M THE ONE WHO'S CHANGED
DON'T KNOW WHO IT WAS THAT SAID
YOU CAN'T GO HOME AGAIN
BUT IT'S NOT TRUE WHERE I GREW UP
GUESS THAT'S HOW IT'S ALWAYS BEEN
WELCOME HOME
AMEN
THIS IS MY TOWN
I'M RIGHT BACK WHERE I STARTED
MY TOWN
HOME IS WHERE MY HEART IS
MY TOWN
I NEVER REALLY LEFT YOU
MY TOWN
MY HOMETOWN
