I Keep Coming Back

I told myself getting out

That's what this is all about

Sun goes up, sun goes down

You only get one go around

Then I left this town

Then I let that road carry me

As far as it could carry me

Stood on a mountain free

Found a place where I could breathe, in and out

And thought about things that I can't live without

I keep coming back

Time after time

No matter where I'm at

I can't pretend

I've found something better than where I've been

Cause where I'm from

Is who I am

And no matter how far that I run

Yea I keep coming back

See the more people change

The more that they stay the same

So I just stopped everything

Thought about all the things

Weighing me down

Then I threw out old boxes

Emptied my pockets

Of regrets and love letters

Pictures and lockets

And all I have now

Is the truth that I've found

Life has a way

Of just turning around

And around

And around

I keep coming back

Time after time

No matter where I'm at

I can't pretend

I've found something better than where I've been

Cause where I'm from

Is who I am

And no matter how far that I run

Yea I keep coming back

To the town on the hill

So peaceful and still

And my memories are at

I keep coming back

Time after time

No matter where I'm at

I can't pretend

I've found something better than where I've been

Cause where I'm from

Is who I am

And no matter how far that I run

No matter how far

No matter how far that I run

Yea I keep coming back

I keep coming back

I keep coming back
