Lyrics:
VR 1:
Seven
Filled with rage
Grandma
Making me feel okay
She always knew
What to say

Fourteen
First dance
Grandpa
Holding my hand
It was the best night
On Mexico time

PRE-CH:
It’s times like these
I wish I could stop that clock
You won’t always be here
And I hate that thought

CH:
Cause out here in Tennessee
It’s easy to miss
All of my family
Back in Texas

And every time I leave
I leave a part of me
Back where you are
And every time I go
It feels like coming home
Back to the start

I’m blessed
I got the best
People that made my heart

VR 2:
Eighteen
Got off-track
Three aunts 
making me laugh
They always could 
cheer me up

Twenty-Two
No wedding in sight
My uncle
Giving me advice
I needed to hear
Everything that night

PRE-CH:
It’s times like these 
I’m grateful for
I just wish
We could have them more

CH:
Cause out here in Tennessee
It’s easy to miss
All of my family
Back in Texas

And every time I leave
I leave a part of me
Back where you are
And every time I go
It feels like coming home
Back to the start

I’m blessed
I got the best
People that made my heart

BRI:
All my older cousins
Showed me the way

And the one that’s younger
I’m so proud of today

CH:
Cause out here in Tennessee
It’s easy to miss
All of my family
Back in Texas

And every time I leave
I leave a part of me
Back where you are
And every time I go
It feels like coming home
Back to the start

I’m blessed
I got the best
People that made my heart
