Emerald City

[Verse 1]
Momma, I'll be back by tomorrow
Not packing my bags 'cause I'll stay for the long haul
You don't gotta hold back tears 'cause my flight's here
And you ain't gotta cry no more 'cause I'm right here

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been away for too damn long
Don't wanna be missed every time I'm gone
My heart's close to home but it's still so far (Oh)

[Chorus]
I wanna get home to the Emerald City
I miss the rain and it sounds so pretty
But I don't care, I love my city
Emerald, emerald
I wanna be back where the riverside ends
I hate to admit it but I miss my friends
I don't care, I lovе my city
Emerald, emerald

[Verse 2]
So I go up and down and all around town, just driving
Evеrything's safe and sound, I'm in the background, deciding
If I can keep up with this lifestyle, I'm too deep in
And I can't turn back (Oh, oh-oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been away for too damn long
Don't wanna be missed every time I'm gone
My heart's close to home but it's still so far (Oh)

[Chorus]
I wanna get home to the Emerald City
I miss the rain and it sounds so pretty
But I don't care, I love my city
Emerald, emerald
I wanna be back where the riverside ends
I hate to admit it but I miss my friends
I don't care, I love my city
Emerald, emerald

[Outro]
(Oh, ooh-ooh, oh-oh, ooh-ooh)
Emerald, emerald
(Oh, ooh-ooh, oh-oh, ooh-ooh)
Emerald, emerald
(Oh)
