It's a left then a right
All the way to the stop sign
I know it like the back of my hand
There's a tree in the front yard
Just like I remember
It's seen a boy grow up
To be a man
I can walk in the front door
Black and blue
But I'm still a kid in their eyes
It's a left then a right
All the way to the stop sign
I know it like the back of my hand
I know where to go
Right where to find
The place that I run to
To make it alright
When I need a place
Somewhere to escape
When I need the words
I can't find anywhere else
I get in the car
It's never too far
Just a left on McKinney
I show up unannounced
They're sittin' on the couch
Like they knew I'd be staying for hours
She'll be making dinner
And he'll turn on the game
I swear that they both have superpowers
I can walk in the front door
Black and blue
But I'm still a kid in their eyes
It's a left then a right
All the way to the stop sign
I know it like the back of my hand
I know where to go
Right where to find
The place that I run to
To make it alright
When I need a place
Somewhere to escape
When I need the words
I can't find anywhere else
I get in the car
It's never too far
Just a left on McKinney
