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 for me
Found a place where I can 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
It's where I'm from
It's who I am
And no matter how far that I run
Yeah, I keep coming back

They say the more people change the more that they stay the same
So I just stop 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
Yeah, I keep coming back

To the town on the hill
So peaceful and still
Where my memories are at
Yeah, 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
It's where I'm from
It's who I am
And no matter how far that I run
No matter how far
No matter how far that I run
Yeah, I keep coming back
I keep coming back
I keep coming back
Oooh
