  • I'm gonna need you to raise your glass
    I don't care what you put in it
    Here's to nights that you can't take back
    We live hard but we love to laugh

    We all thought that we'd get rich fast
    Hop the plane out for greener grass
    Found out the green is cash
    Don't compare to the friends that last

    See, we won't forget where we came from
    The city won't change us
    We beat to the same drum
    No, we won't forget where we came from
    The city can't change us
    We beat to the same drum, the same drum

    (Hey) La-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah
    La-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-doe
    (Hey) And no matter where we go
    We always find our way back home

    (Hey) La-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah
    La-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-doe
    (Hey) And no matter where we go
    We always find our way back home

    So here's to the cheap sunglasses
    Red Bull and minivans and
    People who had your back when
    The world didn't understand

    See, we won't forget where we came from
    The city won't change us
    We beat to the same drum
    No, we won't forget where we came from
    The city can't change us
    We beat to the same drum, the same drum

    (Hey) La-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah
    La-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-doe
    (Hey) And no matter where we go
    We always find our way back home

    (Hey) La-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah
    La-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-doe
    (Hey) And no matter where we go
    We always find our way back home

    When ties loosen
    We're losing touch
    And fading away
    We'll still be raising our cups
    To the same damn things

    Oh no, the city won't change us
    Oh no, the city won't change us
    Oh no, the city won't change us
    Oh no, the city won't change us
    Won't change us

    (Hey) La-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah
    La-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-doe
    And no matter where we go
    We always find our way back home

    La-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah
    La-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-doe
    And no matter where we go
    We always find our way back home

    (Hey) La-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah
    La-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-doe
    And no matter where we go
    We always find our way back home

    (Hey) We always find our way back home
    Yeah, we always find our way back home Writer/s: ANDREW CHARLES GRAMMER, RYAN METZGER
