lyrics

Well, I drove back to my hometown
Got caught by the one red light
I saw the glow from the high school
Football field in the twilight

Then I drove on past the liquor store
And on past the Dairy Queen
Well there wasn’t much in my
Hometown I hadn’t seen

Later, I’m packing up my mama’s house
I found my yearbooks on the shelf
And I gotta say I had some trouble
Tryin’ to recognize myself

Between pictures and the mirror
And what we try hard to ignore
Well, I found myself with
My coat on at the door

Yeah, I found myself
With my coat on at the door

Well, I saw the floodlights on
From way cross town
And I had to get some fresh air
So I thought that I’d drive down

It should be easier to come back
But that’s not the way this feels
Cuz when you come back
Looking for inspiration
You find an empty field

I’ve learned that nothin’s as easy
As it seemed
And coach I promise that I’ll
Shut the lights off
Just before I leave
This empty field of dreams

I don’t wanna make too big a
deal now about my glory days
It’s just a form of charity
If everybody plays

So you work hard, ready to step in
If you’re needed by the team
Well you know I was only
Ever second string

Yeah you know I was
Only ever second string

So when I saw the floodlights on
From way cross town
Well I had to get some fresh air
So I thought that I’d drive down

It should be easier to come back
But that’s not the way this feels
Cuz when you come back
Looking for inspiration
You find an empty field

I found that nothin’s as easy
As it seemed
And coach I promise that I’ll
Shut the lights off
Just before I leave
This empty field of dreams

Where bright but it empty
Cuz the team have all gone home
To their mamas and their stepdads
And their sisters on their phones

Well I’ve learned that nothin’s as easy
As it seemed
And coach I promise that I’ll
Shut the lights off
Just before I leave

Yeah I learned that nothin’s as easy
As it seemed
And coach I promise that I’ll
Shut the lights off
Just before I leave

This empty field of dreams

This empty field of dreams

My empty field of dreams
