Lyrics
I wanna know where your hometown is
I'm interested in knowing about your hometown.
I wanna go where you spent those nights
I want to visit the place where you spent your nights.
Cheering for the hometeam with your besties
Recalling moments of cheering for the home team with your best friends.
Under those Friday lights
Memories of being under the Friday night lights.
I wanna meet your mama
I wish to meet your mother.
I wanna meet your dad
I wish to meet your father.
Tell me do you wanna, take me back
Asking if you want to share and revisit those memories with me.
Was it a red dirt road or an old two-lane
Curious if the road was a red dirt one or an old two-lane.
Did you leave one day in a cloud of dust
Asking if you left one day, leaving behind a cloud of dust.
Lay down some blacktop marks, break some hearts
Wondering if you left marks on the blacktop and broke some hearts.
Did you tear ‘em up
Curious if you were rebellious and tore things up.
What made you who you are that made me fall in love
Interested in understanding the experiences that shaped you and made me fall in love.
Baby take me down

Take me down

Where'd you learn how to drive that truck

Where'd you get that fire inside
Inquiring about the source of the passion and fire within you.
Take me back all the way, to that place before you were mine
Expressing a desire to go back to the time before you were in a relationship.
Where you spent your Sundays girl
Asking about the place where you spent your Sundays.
Where you got that heart
Curious about the origin of your compassionate and loving heart.
Show me around your world

Take me right back to the start
