[Verse 1]
C G/B Highway signs roll by like memories in the dark, Am7 F I’ve been gone too long, still carry home inside my heart. C G/B River mist in the morning, I swear I smell it in the breeze, Am7 F And that Cherokee sunrise feels like it’s calling back to me.
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7 F I left chasing something bigger, C G But the road’s been running me, Am7 F Now the closer that I’m getting, G G The more I finally breathe.
[Chorus]
C G I’m heading back home to Tahlequah, Am7 F Where the nights fall soft and slow, C G Where the Illinois River sings me songs F G That nobody else could know. C G Got red dirt on my memories, Am7 F And peace in every flaw— C G Yeah, I’m on my way, F G Back home to Tahlequah.
[Verse 2]
C G/B Momma’s porch light glowing like it never gave up hope, Am7 F Old friends waiting on me down the bend of that gravel road. C G/B I’ve seen neon cities shining, but none ever felt like mine, Am7 F ‘Cause home is where the stories stay set in Oklahoma time.
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7 F I’ve been running from the quiet, C G Now it’s the sound I crave, Am7 F And I’m ready for tomorrow G G On the streets that raised my name.
[Chorus]
C G I’m heading back home to Tahlequah, Am7 F Where the nights fall soft and slow, C G Where the Illinois River sings me songs F G That nobody else could know. C G Got red dirt on my memories, Am7 F And peace in every flaw— C G Yeah, I’m on my way, F G Back home to Tahlequah.
[Bridge]
Am7 F Maybe leaving made me realize C G You can lose yourself in crowds, Am7 F But the moment home comes into view G G The world just settles down.
(Final Chorus)
C G I’m heading back home to Tahlequah, Am7 F Where my heart’s been all along, C G Where cicadas hum the summer nights F G And every mile feels like a song. C G I got roots that won’t stop growing, Am7 F And dreams that still stand tall— C G So I’m going home, F G Back home to Tahlequah.
