We All Go Home Lyrics - Old Things New - Joe Nichols

We all go home 

You're eating strawberry pie in a mid-town diner 

Next thing you know you're back in south Carolina 

Stuffing your mouth at grandma's house 

Then a lady in a booth gets onto her kids 

Lays down the law like your mama did 

And it makes you smile every once in a while 

[Chorus] 

We all go home 

To a place and a time 

In our hearts and our minds 

That's we just can't outgrow 

There's a tie that'll bind you 

And love that'll find you 

No matter where you go 

Someday someway 

We all go home 

You tell yourself the grass is greener 

That Podunk town ain't the place for a dreamer 

Throw a dart at a map and you don't look back 

You try to change your clothes and the way you talk 

But one day you slip on that southern drawl 

And you have to laugh yeah, just like that 

[Chorus] 

The choir sings and the preacher talks 

Six of your old friends take you for a walk 

Up that shady hill, yeah someday they will 

[Chorus]
