We All Go Home

We all go home You're eating strawberry pie in a mid-town diner Next thing you know you're back in south Carolina Stuffing your mouth at grandma's house Then a lady in a booth gets onto her kids Lays down the law like your mama did And it makes you smile every once in a while [Chorus] We all go home To a place and a time In our hearts and our minds That's we just can't outgrow There's a tie that'll bind you And love that'll find you No matter where you go Someday someway We all go home You tell yourself the grass is greener That Podunk town ain't the place for a dreamer Throw a dart at a map and you don't look back You try to change your clothes and the way you talk But one day you slip on that southern drawl And you have to laugh yeah, just like that [Chorus] The choir sings and the preacher talks Six of your old friends take you for a walk Up that shady hill, yeah someday they will [Chorus] --- We All Go Home - Joe Nichols
