Some songs are like a time machine, pulling you right back to the places and people that shaped you. “Boys From Back Home” is one of those songs—a tribute to lifelong friendships, youthful memories, and the bond that never fades, no matter how far life takes you.
There’s a certain magic in reminiscing about old friends—the ones who knew you before life got complicated, before responsibilities piled up, and before the years started moving way too fast. This song captures that essence perfectly. It’s about those wild nights, the reckless dreams, and the brotherhood built through shared adventures, laughter, and even a little trouble. Whether it’s meeting up at the same old bar, reliving the glory days, or just knowing that no matter what happens, those friendships will always be a part of you, “Boys From Back Home” is a song that tugs at the heartstrings.
It’s a song for anyone who’s ever left home but never really left behind the people who made it feel like home in the first place. The kind of track that makes you pick up your phone, scroll through old numbers, and think, Man, it’s been too long.
Whether you’re cruising down back roads with the windows down or raising a toast to the ones who’ve stuck by you, “Boys From Back Home” is a reminder that some bonds are unbreakable. It’s nostalgia, pride, and a little bit of longing all wrapped into one unforgettable melody

Lyrics
We live for bright light Friday nights
Front row bleacher packed in tight
Stood there, shirts off in the cold
Painted our faces blue and gold
Yeah, win or lose, either way
We’d pile in Will’s old Chevrolet
Heading downtown to set up shop
In that drive through cookout parking lot
Oh
Yeah Rhett had a beard and a fake ID
He’d buy the beer at the old BP
Kyle’s folks were gone ’til Sunday night
Sing country roots ’til morning light
Yeah, yeah
And I go back in time
To those October nights
And when I hear that song
It don’t feel too long
Since things changed and life moved on
But no matter where in this world we roam
We’re still them boys from back home
Week after graduation day
Old Burt packed up and drove away
Collin bought a diamond ring
And I went to Nashville to chase a dream
Next time I roll through Carolina
I’ma call ’em up to see if we can find
A stop sign to shoot
A train track to jump
Put on Dixieland Delight
And turn it way up
Yeah I go back in time
To those October nights
And when I hear that song
It don’t feel too long
Since things changed and life moved on
But no matter where in this world we roam
We’re still them boys from back home, yeah
Yeah I go back in time
To those October nights
And I go back in time
To those October nights
And when I hear that song
It don’t feel, it don’t feel too long
Since things changed and life moved on (life moved on)
But no matter where in this world we roam
We’re still them boys from back home
Them boys from back home
Yeah, woo!
