Lyrics
I was reading your love letter one word at a time
I'm headed back to our hometown, I'm headin' down 95
School has taken me away from where I call my home
I'm learning everything I can just to tell you what I've known
To tell you everything I've known in my heart
I'm counting down the days until I cross this finish line
I'm headed back down south for Thanksgiving time
I pull up next to my old car staring back out my front yard
I hear the screen door echo down my small town boulevard
Echoing boulevard in my heart
I'm counting down the days until I see my old street signs
I'm headed back down south for Thanksgiving time
I'm countin' down the days until I hold you stopping time
I'm headed back down south for Thanksgiving time
I'm counting down the days until I cross this finish line
I'm headed back down south for Thanksgiving time
Now that we are back home and we've gathered all round
It's a little piece of heaven livin' in this little town
Counting down the days until I cross this finish line
I'm headed back down south for Thanksgiving time
