Never met a city quite like this A piece of me that I will always miss Seal it in an envelope, blow a kiss People always wanna ask why I'm homesick Have you seen the lights down at Zilker Park? Have you heard the bats when it gets dark? Have you heard the music floating down the street? Have you felt the air of the summer heat? Everywhere I go, I seem to feel alone When I come back, I always feel like it's a welcome home ♪ Welcome home ♪ Welcome home Memories like fire putting out the dark 1,281 is pretty far Give me a good reason to share my heart All the other towns don't seem to have that spark Have you seen my home where I was raised? It's been seven years and it has changed I don't seem to recognize this new place I just keep holding on to a familiar face Everywhere I go, I seem to feel alone When I come back, I always feel like it's a welcome home ♪ Welcome home ♪ Welcome home Welcome home, mmm When I come back, I always feel like it's a welcome home
