No Vuelvo — FlowTiva

Intro

Yeah...
I still hear my old street callin' my name
But I got reasons, y sabes, I can't stay

Verse 1

Mama's porch had a screen door sigh
Dust on the road and a July sky
Kids on the corner, dogs in the heat
Every old block still knows my feet
I can taste cafecito, smell the rain
Hear my last name in the town's refrain
But I left that map in the rearview glass
Some homes hold you, then they don't let pass

Pre-Chorus

I miss the way my people prayed
I miss the way the daylight stayed
But every door I had to close
Opened a life I chose

Chorus

I miss my hometown, pero no vuelvo
I wear that love like a worn-out sweater, oh
It's in my bones, it's in my soul
But that old road don't own me whole
I miss my hometown, sí, I know
Still I keep on, let the good wind blow
If you ask why my heart still knows the route
It's 'cause I came from there
But I ain't goin' back there now

Verse 2

My tío's laugh in a Friday bar
Grandma's hands and a borrowed car
The river bend where I learned to dream
Now that place feels smaller to me
Not 'cause it's bad, just 'cause I've grown
Built my own fire, found my own home
I can love that place from far away
Like a song I know, but don't play every day

Pre-Chorus

I miss the dogs, I miss the saints
I miss the rain on the window panes
But I learned the hard, true show
Some roots are meant to grow

Chorus

I miss my hometown, pero no vuelvo
I wear that love like a worn-out sweater, oh
It's in my bones, it's in my soul
But that old road don't own me whole
I miss my hometown, sí, I know
Still I keep on, let the good wind blow
If you ask why my heart still knows the route
It's 'cause I came from there
But I ain't goin' back there now

Bridge

Maybe one day I'll drive through slow
Wave at the fields and let 'em know
I didn't leave to forget my past
I left to build a life that lasts
And if my eyes get wet, that's fine
Some love stays sweet from a distance line

Outro

I miss my hometown, pero no vuelvo
No, I don't go back, but I still love it so
Yeah, I came from there... and that's the truth
But I'm makin' my way, with my heart on loose
I miss my hometown...
But I ain't goin' back there now
