Taylor West Holland
Rain drops on the wind shield driving down the road
middle of Kentucky, 200 miles from home
traffics pretty light, making real good time
It won’t be long til I hit that Tennessee state line
I know I haven’t been back in quite a while
But the memories start to come back with every passing mile

Playing football every year
Hanging out and drinking beer
Field parties with a couple of kegs
Hiding hickies on the side of your neck
Cruising the strip every Saturday night
Causing trouble and starting fights
Man it seems like yesterday; I can’t believe those days are gone
That’s what I think of when I think of home

I hit the city limits a little after eight
It’s all so familiar, ain’t nothing really changed
Most of the guys are still here, married and settled down
It’s good to be back but I’m glad I got away from this sleepy little town
We all get together over a couple of drinks
Talk about the old days and I begin to think

About playing baseball every year
Finding someone to buy us beer
Working every summer out on the farm
Helping Granddaddy get the hay in the barn
Cruising the strip to pick up girls
Not a care in the whole damn world
I miss old Howard, can’t believe he’s really gone
That’s what I think of when I think of home

I tell all my friends and my family goodbye
Back in the truck and I put her down in drive
I’ll probably make Kentucky just in time to see sunset
As I look back in the rearview I know I’ll never forget

That’s what I think of when I think of home

Playing football every year
Hanging out and drinking beer
Field parties with a couple of kegs
Hiding hickies on the side of your neck
Cruising the strip every Saturday night
Starting trouble looking for a fight
Man it seems like yesterday; I can’t believe those days are gone
That’s what I think of when I think of home
