Capo on 3rd fret
[Intro]
Cadd9 G D G
Cadd9 G D G
[Verse]
Cadd9 G D G
Been away much longer than I would have liked
Cadd9 G D G
Got caught up in that nine to five
Cadd9 G D G
Ain't seen my mama in too many nights
Cadd9 G
But I'm coming home
D G
Down this road
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G D G
I drive past the postman who still knows my name
Cadd9 G D G
Hearin' those old church bells seems little has changed
Cadd9 G D G
All those city lights never made me feel this way
D G
As I go down this road
D G
Oh down this road
Cadd9 G D G
Cadd9 G D G
[Verse]
Cadd9 G D G
Got my apartment on the 17th floor
Cadd9 G D G
Livin' off coffee and the promise of more
Cadd9 G D G
Seems I've forgotten what all this livin' is for
Cadd9 G D G
But I'm coming home, just a small town girl
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G D G
I roll down my window, let the sunshine in
Cadd9 G D G
Smile at the creek where I had my first kiss
Cadd9 G D G
No matter where I go there’s always happiness
D G
When I go down this road
D G
Oh down this road
[Refrain]
F G Em Am
And I find that sometimes
F G D G D G
This heart cries for home
[Verse]
Cadd9 G D G
And I know that I'll be headed back soon
Cadd9 G D G
To the fast pace, I’ve grown used to
Cadd9 G D G
But this time goin' doesn’t mean leavin’
D G D G
Cause this place will always be with me
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G D G
I get to my driveway see my daddy there
Cadd9 G D G
Seems like he's grown a few more grey hairs
Cadd9 G D G
And time can't change the fact that I’m his little girl
D G
As I go down this road
D G
Down this road
Cadd9 G D G
Oh and I step out of the car back into my own skin
Cadd9 G D G
Smile at the house that I grew up in
Cadd9 G D G
No matter where I go there’s always happiness
D G
When I go down this road
D G
Oh down this road
