[Verse 1]
I packed my bags with dreams untold, set out for somewhere new
Leaving behind them familiar streets and memories of you
In search of something bigger, I chased a brighter star
But in every mile I traveled, I wondered where you are
[Pre-Chorus]
Every road I wandered taught me, there’s a price to pay
For the things you leave behind when you think you have to stray
[Chorus]
Life’s a circle, pulls me back to where I reignite
In the arms of my old friends and never-ending bar nights
Had to travel distant highways, to feel what I had lost
It’s the leaving that can lead you, back to where you love the most
And these old and worn-out boots
Are taking me back to my roots
[Verse 2]
I walked through neon canyons, where dreams and noise collide
But quiet never found me like those stars back home at night
In every laugh and stranger’s face, I wore a hollow grin
Still aching for the dirt-road peace I used to wander in
[Pre-Chorus]
Every skyline I admired held reflections of my dream
Yet the whispers of my hometown called me back like a stream
[Chorus]
Life’s a circle, pulls me back to where I reignite
In the arms of my old friends and never-ending bar nights
Had to travel distant highways, to feel what I had lost
It’s the leaving that can lead you, back to where you love the most
And these old and worn-out boots
Are taking me back to my roots
[Bridge]
When you’re lost in foreign places, let your heart be your guide
It’ll lead you back to comfort, where the simplest joys reside
[Chorus]
Life’s a circle, pulls me back to where I reignite
In the arms of my old friends and never-ending bar nights
Had to travel distant highways, to feel what I had lost
It’s the leaving that can lead you, back to where you love the most
Life’s a circle, pulls me back to all my favorites places
To the mornings touched by sunlight, and the sweet familiar faces
I had to roam to realize, the treasures left behind
It’s the journey that can open up your eyes and redefine
And these old and worn-out boots
Are taking me back to my roots
[Outro]
And these old and worn-out boots
Are taking me back to my roots
