From the recording IV: Finding My Way Back Home
“Finding My Way Back Home” is a driving, country-rock anthem about carving your own path when life gets uncertain. With soaring guitars, rich harmonies, and a groove that feels equal parts rebellious and heartfelt, Ryland Fisher captures what it means to walk away from expectations and rediscover your own truth. Anchored by lyrics like “I don’t care who I’m supposed to be,” this track blends modern country grit with reflective storytelling. It’s a cinematic, energizing opener that sets the tone for the entire album.
Lyrics
I learned the hard way
I took the long way around
Lost like another face in the crowd
Had to get out
So I took a one way
The wrong way down every avenue
Just like they told me not to do
And damn, it’s a hell of a view
Going it alone, burning miles out there looking for me
I don’t care who I’m supposed to be
Headed down a less-traveled road
Finding my way back home
Back where I started from
Before the noise ever got to me
And I was the only one I was trying to be
Yeah, that kinda free
The kind you’re born with
Until you give into all that growing up
Back when the real you was more than enough
Well, I’m waking up
Still turning stones, burning miles out there looking for me
Ain’t lost or found, just somewhere in between
Making this one-lane road my own
And finding my way back home
Going it alone, burning miles out there looking for me
Ain’t lost or found, just somewhere in between
Headed down a less-traveled road
I’m finding my way back
Home…
Turning stones, burning miles out there looking for me
Still don’t give a damn who you want me to be
Making this one-lane road my own
I’m finding my way back home
Oh yeah
Finding my way back home
