[Verse]
Cadd9 F# C# F#
Been away much longer than I would have liked
Cadd9 F# C# F#
Got caught up in that nine to five
Cadd9 F# C# F#
Ain't seen my mama in too many nights
Cadd9 F#
But I'm coming home
C# F#
Down this road
[Chorus]
Cadd9 F# C# F#
I drive past the postman who still knows my name
Cadd9 F# C# F#
Hearin' those old church bells seems little has changed
Cadd9 F# C# F#
All those city lights never made me feel this way
C# F#
As I go down this road
C# F#
Oh down this road
Cadd9 F# C# F#
Cadd9 F# C# F#
[Verse]
Cadd9 F# C# F#
Got my apartment on the 17th floor
Cadd9 F# C# F#
Livin' off coffee and the promise of more
Cadd9 F# C# F#
Seems I've forgotten what all this livin' is for
Cadd9 F# C# F#
But I'm coming home, just a small town girl
[Chorus]
Cadd9 F# C# F#
I roll down my window, let the sunshine in
Cadd9 F# C# F#
Smile at the creek where I had my first kiss
Cadd9 F# C# F#
No matter where I go there’s always happiness
C# F#
When I go down this road
C# F#
Oh down this road
[Refrain]
E F# D#m G#m
And I find that sometimes
E F# C# F# C# F#
This heart cries for home
[Verse]
Cadd9 F# C# F#
And I know that I'll be headed back soon
Cadd9 F# C# F#
To the fast pace, I’ve grown used to
Cadd9 F# C# F#
But this time goin' doesn’t mean leavin’
C# F# C# F#
Cause this place will always be with me
[Chorus]
Cadd9 F# C# F#
I get to my driveway see my daddy there
Cadd9 F# C# F#
Seems like he's grown a few more grey hairs
Cadd9 F# C# F#
And time can't change the fact that I’m his little girl
C# F#
As I go down this road
C# F#
Down this road
Cadd9 F# C# F#
Oh and I step out of the car back into my own skin
Cadd9 F# C# F#
Smile at the house that I grew up in
Cadd9 F# C# F#
No matter where I go there’s always happiness
C# F#
When I go down this road
C# F#
Oh down this road
