Lyrics
Boomerang
Rick Amburgey/Brad Hacker
Verse 1:
I’d rather drive those ‘ol backroads
Than an interstate any day
Some people call me old fashioned
But that’s just how I was raised
I wear a camo cap, broke-in jeans
Learned that life’s about them little things
Like spending the night in a deer stand
Where the land’s untouched by progress
Pre-Chorus:
The tiny town where I’m from
Is so much more than another map dot
Chorus:
Tennessee is a part of me
And these roots run deep in the heart of me
And I’m gonna leave just long enough
To follow my dreams
Plant my feet where the road leads
My heart beats with a song to sing
Then I’ll find my way back home like a boomerang
Verse 2:
The only cruise I’m gonna take
Is on a fishing boat out on the lake
I love sippin’ sweet tea on a front porch swing
Eatin’ cornbread and pinto beans
Pre-Chorus:
When it’s time to start a family
I know just where I’ll be
Chorus:
Tennessee is a part of me
And these roots run deep in the heart of me
And I’m gonna leave just long enough
To follow my dreams
Plant my feet where the road leads
My heart beats with a song to sing
Then I’ll find my way back home like a boomerang
Bridge:
On Saturdays I’m on a drop-down tailgate
Wearing that orange and white
Me and my buddies are VOLS for life
Sunday morning church we’re on the front row prayin'
Then Sunday night
Another episode of Yellowstone
Chorus:
Tennessee is a part of me
And these roots run deep in the heart of me
And I’m gonna leave just long enough
To follow my dreams
Plant my feet where the road leads
My heart beats with a song to sing
Then I’ll find my way
Then I’ll find my way
Back home like a boomerang
