Mobile Orchestra cover
07. Back Home (feat. Jake Owen)
Album: Mobile Orchestra
Artist: Owl City
         
 

I'm saying
Goodbye to the skyline
Hello to the sweet pines
Gonna see you later, street lights
I’m headed back to tree lines
To free time and starry nights
To bonfires and fireflies
Pack your bags it's time to go
'Cause we got brighter lights back home

I got aching feet from walking
Over miles of concrete
And I can’t wait to dream
But the city, you no she won’t go to sleep
So I'm saying

Goodbye to the skyline
Hello to the sweet pines
Gonna see you later, street lights
I’m headed back to tree lines
To free time and starry nights
To bonfires and fireflies
Pack your bags it's time to go
'Cause we got brighter lights back home
Yeah we got brighter lights

Back home there's a girl named Mary Lou
A diner off the highway with a corner booth
And every gravel road is a trip down memory lane
Back home where the corn grows ten feet tall
And every year is measured on the pantry wall
The willow trees are waving me to come back home again
So I'm saying

Goodbye to the skyline
Hello to the sweet pines
Gonna see you later, street lights
I’m headed back to tree lines
To free time and starry nights
To bonfires and fireflies
Pack your bags it's time to go

I’m saying goodbye to the skyline
Hello to the sweet pines
Gonna see you later, street lights
I’m headed back to tree lines
To free time and starry nights
To bonfires and fireflies
Pack your bags it's time to go
'Cause we got brighter lights back home
