Gather In My Hometown (Version 2)

Intro

Rustle on the gravel, dust in the sun

Come on home to the light we've just begun

Verse 1

I left with a suitcase and a restless soul

Counted every mile till I found my way back whole

Your porch swing creaks like it's been waiting too

And your smile catches up where words can't get through

Pre-Chorus

We don't need an invitation, just a little time

Every stranger here becomes a friend of mine

So let the radio static turn into gold

I'm not lost no more, I've finally found my home

Chorus

Gather in my hometown tonight

With your hand in mine and the whole sky alight

Fireflies lighting up where we used to roam

Gather in my hometown tonight, where love finds its way back home

Verse 2

I brought a map of far-off places and names

But you unfolded one with our own two hearts inside it, full-blown frames

Your laughter turns the porch light gold and bright

Every shadow melts into your eyes tonight

Pre-Chorus

We don't need an invitation, just a little time

Every stranger here becomes a friend of mine

So let the radio static turn into gold

I'm not lost no more, I've finally found my home

Chorus

Gather in my hometown tonight

With your hand in mine and the whole sky alight

Fireflies lighting up where we used to roam

Gather in my hometown tonight, where love finds its way back home

Bridge

We don't need a map to find what's true

Every sunset writes it in the blue

I'm right here with you on these gravel streets

This is our own parade, and nobody's left behind

Chorus

Gather in my hometown tonight

With your hand in mine and the whole sky alight

Fireflies lighting up where we used to roam

Gather in my hometown tonight, where love finds its way back home
