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 flights hereAnd you don′t gotta cry no more ′cause I'm right here
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
I wanna get home to the Emerald City
I miss the rain and it sounds so pretty
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 ′cause I love my city Emerald, emerald
So I go up and down then all around town just driving
Everything′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
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
I wanna get home to the Emerald City
I miss the rain and it sounds so pretty
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
Emerald, Emerald
Emerald, Emerald
