I went driving through my old hometown
It was Thursday, the bright sun on the horizon
I was surprised to see no one had burned it down
It seemed so peaceful and warm
Floods of memories came back to me
All the things we got away with when we were younger
And I felt kinda like a refugee
Like a scattered pile of leaves in a storm
Peaceful memory like lights on the Christmas tree
Every hometown should be peaceful and warm
Every father, mother, sister, brother
Friend of the family, peaceful and warm
Somehow now and then it didn't seem to blend
Till the farmer plowing his field waved hello
Another working man doing the best he can
I hope he is peaceful and warm
Peaceful memory, flowers in the greenfield sea
Every hometown should be peaceful and warm
Every father, mother, sister, brother
Friend of the family, peaceful and warm
On the Kansas banks of that muddy moat
I threw rocks in the river and dreamed of running away
In a wind of change only a father knows
In a world so hectic, so cold
I guess my old hometown is kinda dead and gone
You miss the sign on I-29 and you blow right by
But it's a place I can go, remember where I come from
It will help keep me peaceful and warm
Peaceful memory, the only thing that's free
Take 'em and try to be peaceful and warm
Every father, every sister
Friend of the family, peaceful
Peaceful and warm, yeah
