Back to My Hometown

Down by the river we used to play Under the skies turning purple and gray Streetlights flickered like stars in a line Back to my hometown where we spent our time Old oak tree where names were carved deep Memories so vivid they haunt when I sleep Echoes of laughter in every cracked stone Back to my hometown where I'm never alone Brick walls and whispers of tales long gone Midnight rides and the break of dawn Voices of friends that I'll never disown Back to my hometown where my roots have grown Corner café with the same old chairs Faces familiar with love and their stares Ghosts of the past in every street sign Back to my hometown where love's intertwined Rusty swings and the old basketball court Lifelong dreams and the battles we fought Each little crack in the pavement tells a story Back to my hometown with all its glory Brick walls and whispers of tales long gone Midnight rides and the break of dawn Voices of friends that I'll never disown Back to my hometown where my roots have grown
