If I didn't make you think of your mama's kitchen
Your front porch, sound of the crickets crickin'
Where the summers went fast and came back slow
If it don't take you back to the night when you picked her up in
That hand-me-down car that was barely runnin'
First time that she didn't tell you "no"
It wouldn't be home
If it didn't make you miss
The way it used to be
If it wasn't for the people
That are hard to leave
If it didn't have a story down every road
Trust me I know
It wouldn't be home
If it didn't make you think about some old fling
If she ever got around to a new last name
Makes you wonder what might've
Could've turned out different
It wouldn't be home
If it didn't take you back
To the last game that you played in
The burn on the bourbon the first time you tasted
A little white church that your family prayed in
And they still go
It wouldn't be home
If it didn't make you miss
The way it used to be
If it wasn't for the people
That are hard to leave
If it didn't have a story down every road
Trust me I know
It wouldn't be home
If it didn't make you wanna
Drive past the school
Laugh about all the stupid things you used to do
It makes you wanna take a U-turn and relive it
It wouldn't be home
If it wasn't that place
That you couldn't wait to leave
If it wasn't where every out there road still leads
It wouldn't be home
If it didn't make you miss
The way it used to be
If it wasn't for the people
That are hard to leave
If it didn't have a story down every road
It wouldn't be home
If it didn't make you wanna go back inside
That house when your granddad was still alive
Makes you proud that he accent where he gave it
It wouldn't be home if it didn't
You know
It wouldn't be home if it didn't
Yeah
Wouldn't be home if it didn't
