Multi-Platinum-selling hitmaker Sam Hunt drops new song “Start Nowhere” today. Hunt and co-writers Zach Crowell, Shane McAnally, and Josh Osborne lean into the comfort and ease of a life before distractions.

“When you grow up in a small town, you love where you’re from, you are where you’re from, and you answer the call of adventure when you turn 18 and take off out into the big wide world,” shares Hunt on his socials. “If you stay gone too long without coming home, you can get a little disconnected. Sometimes the only way to get your feet back on the ground is to go back home where you grew up.”

American Songwriter recently spoke with Hunt and notes, “Hunt says his ‘true north’ isn’t just going home but choosing home and the ‘values that home represents to me over worldly ambitions.’” Read the full article HERE

The accompanying music video for “Start Nowhere,” also out today, is a compilation of Hunt’s family home movies showing Hunt roughhousing with his brothers and time spent with his parents, family, and friends in his hometown of Cedartown, Ga. The video hits a full heartfelt note as we go into a holiday focused on giving thanks and appreciation for our blessings.

“I connect with that video so much,” Hunt shares exclusively with PEOPLE. “How much of this is me just connecting to my family and how much of it is just stepping outside myself and just appreciating the nostalgia of that era — just the love in mom’s eyes and all the things that show up there that are just real and authentic?” Read the full article HERE.

“Start Nowhere” Lyrics – written by Sam Hunt, Zach Crowell, Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne
I’m packin’ it up, movin’ along
Headed for dirt the stars fell on
Heavenly pines, holier ground
You probably ain’t ever heard of the town

 Life caught up the way that it does
Don’t even know who I was
Before my world got so unsteady
Man, I’m ready to feel alright

Well, I don’t know but I’ve been told
Moss don’t grow on a rolling stone
Me, I wanna go where the river rolls
And breathe in that old down home

 Feelin’ again ’cause lately I’ve been
Spinnin’ my wheels out gone with the wind
When I need to get back to who I am
There ain’t but just one road there
Sometimes you gotta start nowhere

I’m cleanin’ the slate, startin’ from scratch
Walkin’ around retracin’ my track
Where I used to get lost back in the day
Where everything is an hour away 

Except for a girl that I used to know
She lived with her mama down Calico Road
She was gonna leave, did she ever go

Well, I don’t know but I’ve been told
Moss don’t grow on a rolling stone
Me, I wanna go where the river rolls
And breathe in that old down home 

Feelin’ again ’cause lately I’ve been
Spinnin’ my wheels out gone with the wind
When I need to get back to who I am
There ain’t but just one road there
Sometimes you gotta start nowhere

 Yeah, I’ve been leaned back
Takin’ it easy
Yeah, I’ll be off the grid if anybody needs me

Breathin’ some life back in my lungs
Just like when I was young
And everything was breezy

Well, I don’t know but I’ve been told
Moss don’t grow on a rolling stone
Me, I wanna go where the river rolls
And breathe in that old down home 

Feelin’ again ’cause lately I’ve been
Spinnin’ my wheels out gone with the wind
When I need to get back to who I am
There ain’t but just one road there
Sometimes you gotta start nowhere

Sometimes you gotta start nowhere
