[Verse 1]
Sun coming up over Mill Mountain
Coffee steam curling in the cold
Blue Ridge lines like an old hymn
Folded in the valley’s hold
Kids on bikes down Crystal Spring
Church bells drifting soft and slow
Every day a simple blessing
Life here in Roanoke

[Chorus]
This is my town
My little corner
Brick and river
Field and oak
Every hill holds one more story
Every porch light feels like home
From the market to the back roads
Hear the heart of people grow
I am who I am because
I’m living life in Roanoke

[Verse 2]
Farmer’s stand on Saturday
Tomatoes piled in paper trays
Old men laughing under awnings
Telling tales of better days
Freight train hum on Jefferson
Thunder on the distant stones
Even when I dream of leaving
These mountains call me home

[Chorus]
This is my town
My little corner
Brick and river
Field and oak
Every hill holds one more story
Every porch light feels like home
From the greenway to the back roads
Hear the heart of people grow
I am who I am because
I’m living life in Roanoke

[Bridge]
Maybe I’ll roam
Chase some skyline
Taste a different kind of smoke (woah)
But I’ll keep a map of Star City
Folded right beside my hope

[Chorus]
This is my town
My little corner
Brick and river
Field and oak
Every hill holds one more story
Every porch light feels like home
From the sunrise on the ridge tops
To the soft new-fallen snow
I am who I am because
I’m living life in Roanoke (oh Roanoke)
