Lyrics
[Verse 1] Packed up that Honda, college town in the rearview Four years of textbooks and a brand new point of view Said I'd never look back, that concrete jungle called my name But the further I drove, the more it all felt kinda lame [Pre-Chorus] Got a text from Billy, 'bout a Friday night bonfire Said the old crew's gatherin', settin' that field on fire And somethin' in my chest, it just started beatin' fast Wondered if that small-town magic really could last [Chorus] Main Street neon, cuttin' through the dust and dark Same old diner, leavin' its familiar mark Spinning tires on gravel, pullin' up to the old spot Turns out, this no-name town is exactly what I got Yeah, this no-name town is exactly what I got [Verse 2] Saw my daddy's Chevy, parked right by the county line He's still workin' sun-up, makin' sure the fields are fine Momma's got sweet tea waitin', on the porch swing in the shade Didn't know how much I missed it, all the plans I'd made unmade [Pre-Chorus] Heard that old juke joint band, playin' loud and out of tune Saw a familiar silhouette beneath the harvest moon And somethin' in my chest, it just started beatin' fast Wondered if that small-town magic really could last [Chorus] Main Street neon, cuttin' through the dust and dark Same old diner, leavin' its familiar mark Spinning tires on gravel, pullin' up to the old spot Turns out, this no-name town is exactly what I got Yeah, this no-name town is exactly what I got [Bridge] Traded high-rise dreams for wide-open skies Learned a lot out there, but I opened up my eyes To the truth that was here, in every single face There ain't no place like home, no matter time or space [Chorus] Main Street neon, cuttin' through the dust and dark Same old diner, leavin' its familiar mark Spinning tires on gravel, pullin' up to the old spot Turns out, this no-name town is exactly what I got Yeah, this no-name town is exactly what I got [Outro] Yeah, what I got... is home. (Fade out with guitar riff) Main Street neon, shinin' on.
