Lincoln
Drove all night on the four lane
Crossed the river by sunrise
Headed east to the Bluegrass
With only shadows left behind

About a year ago in July
I was driving the other way
Headed out for my new life
In another town, another state
Pre-chorus
Sometimes in life you make it
When you take off on your own

But tonight I had to leave it all in Lincoln
‘Cause tonight it’s time for me to go back home

Seeing strangers on the corner
Can make you start to change yourself
Now when I look in the mirror
I see a stranger in myself
Pre-chorus
Sometimes in life you make it
When you take off on your own

But tonight I had to leave it all in Lincoln
‘Cause tonight it’s time for me to go back home

Sometimes in life you make it
When you take off on your own

But tonight I had to leave it all in Lincoln
‘Cause tonight it’s time for me to go back home
Yeah, tonight it’s time for me to go back home
Tonight it’s time for me to go back home
Tonight it’s time for me to go back home
