Lyrics
When I first left home
Reflecting on leaving home for the first time.
My guitar on my back
Carrying a guitar, possibly symbolizing a musical journey.
I had a ticket to ride to the top of the hill there was no lookin' back
Having a clear path to success without regrets.
But a five man band rollin' round the world
A five-man band touring globally but missing a hometown connection.
Couldn't take the place of a small town girl
Highlighting the irreplaceability of a small-town girl.
I had it all then I threw it away
Regretting past decisions and losing everything.
I shoulda known better then that
Acknowledging a lack of foresight and wisdom.
Now it's good to be back
Expressing contentment or relief at being back.
It's good to be back in the saddle again
Rejoicing in the return and resuming a familiar role.
It's good to be back
Emphasizing the positive feeling of being back.
It's good to be right back where I belong.
Finding satisfaction in being in a familiar place.
We were half way there
Reaching a midpoint in a journey or life experience.
We got into a fight
Encountering a conflict or disagreement during the journey.
It was the last time I ever saw Ronny alive what a lonely night
Recalling a significant and lonely night related to the conflict.
I got a six string over my shoulder
Carrying a guitar again, possibly a symbol of resilience.
I still feel like a kid I just look a bit older
Feeling youthful despite physical aging.
People say its a matter of time
Contrasting opinions about time and facts.
But baby it's a matter of fact
Stating that certain things are indisputable.
That it's good to be back
Reiterating the positive sentiment of being back.
It's good to be back in the battle again
Returning to the challenges and struggles of life.
It's good to be back
Expressing joy at being back in a familiar battle.
It's good to be right back where I belong
Finding comfort and belonging in a familiar place.
A thousand miles in the driving rain doing one night stands
Describing a challenging and extensive journey in difficult conditions.
Its a giant leap for rock and roll
Considering the significance of the journey for rock and roll.
Come on lets do it again
Encouraging a repetition or continuation of the journey.
It's good to be back
Reiterating the positive feeling of being back.
It's good to be back in the battle again
Returning to the challenges and struggles of life.
It's good to be back
Expressing joy at being back in a familiar battle.
It's good to be right back where I belong
Finding comfort and belonging in a familiar place.
