I told myself getting out 
That’s what this is all about 
Sun goes up, sun goes down 
You only get one go around 
Then I left this town 

Then I let that road carry me 
As far as it could carry me 
Stood on a mountain free 
Found a place where I could breathe, in and out 
And thought about things that I can’t live without 

Chorus: 
I keep coming back 
Time after time 
No matter where I’m at 
I can’t pretend 
I’ve found something better than where I’ve been 
Cause where I’m from 
Is who I am 
And no matter how far that I run 
Yea I keep coming back 

See the more people change 
The more that they stay the same 
So I just stopped everything 
Thought about all the things 
Weighing me down 
Then I threw out old boxes 
Emptied my pockets 
Of regrets and love letters 
Pictures and lockets 

And all I have now 
Is the truth that I’ve found 
Life has a way 
Of just turning around 
And around 
And around 

Chorus:
I keep coming back 
Time after time 
No matter where I’m at 
I can’t pretend 
I’ve found something better than where I’ve been 
Cause where I’m from 
Is who I am 
And no matter how far that I run 
Yea I keep coming back 

To the town on the hill 
So peaceful and still 
And my memories are at 

I keep coming back 
Time after time 
No matter where I’m at 
I can’t pretend 
I’ve found something better than where I’ve been 
Cause where I’m from 
Is who I am 
And no matter how far that I run 
No matter how far 
No matter how far that I run 
Yea I keep coming back 
I keep coming back 
I keep coming back
