“Hometown Highways”
Full Song Lyrics:
Verse 1:
[Em] Driving down those [G] Hometown Highways,
[C] Memories flash in the [D] rear-view mirror.
[Em] Old buddies and those [G] summer days,
[C] Smiles are fading but [D] they couldn’t be clearer.
Chorus:
[G] Take me back to [D] those golden times,
[Em] Under the sun, in the [C] heart of July.
[G] Warm evening breeze and [D] firefly lights,
[Em] On those Hometown [D] Highways, [C] we learned to fly.
Verse 2:
[Em] The old diner, and the [G] river side,
[C] First loves and the [D] heartbreak tears.
[Em] Promises under the [G] moonlit night,
[C] Echo in the laughter, [D] after all these years.
Chorus:
[G] Take me back to [D] those golden times,
[Em] Under the stars, in the [C] cool of the night.
[G] Innocence lost, and [D] lessons learned right,
[Em] On those Hometown [D] Highways, [C] we learned to fight.
