Home Sweet Home

Prologue

Wandered far with dreams in tow, suitcase full of plans

Left behind the dusty roads and calloused working hands

Bright lights on the station sign, promise in the air

Didn’t know a city song could carry so much care

Intro

Clouds roll over city heights, morning breaks in gray

Smell of diesel in the breeze starts another day

Folks all hurrying along, eyes ahead, chin down

Funny how these busy streets make me miss my tiny town

Verse 1

Woke up to the city sounds, traffic on the street

Windows glare like silent eyes staring back at me

Coffee brewing in a line, sidewalks paved with shoes

Missing how the screen door slams and the grass is wet with dew

Pre-Chorus

I watch the sunlight creeping in between the narrow walls

Remember morning mist and songbirds answering my calls

rising high but they don't feel like home

Where I'm from, the fields stretch wide and you never feel alone

The rhythm here is fast and bright, crowds rushing on their way

But a country heart gets lost at night, craves a gentler day

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh, home sweet home

Oh oh oh, wide open road

Verse 2

Here the diners never close, neon signs aglow

But I'd trade ten city diners for my mama's Sunday roast

People talk in hurried words, always on the run

Back home we take it slower, let the stories come undone

Pre-Chorus

Brick and grass, both can last, but one calls out to me

Strangers laughing in the park, but it's fences that set me free

Chorus

City towers rising high but they don't feel like home

Where I'm from, the fields stretch wide and

Bridge

Sometimes I dream in open fields, wild clover in my hair

Sunset paints the silo gold, I close my eyes, I'm there

Letters from my sister say, the river's running clear

I fold the note and hold it close, wishing I was near

Chorus

City towers rising high but they don't feel like home

Where I'm from, the fields stretch wide and you never feel alone

The rhythm here is fast and bright, crowds rushing on their way

But a country heart gets lost at night, craves a gentler day

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh, home sweet home

Oh oh oh, wide open road

Outro

Maybe someday I'll return, suitcase in my hand

Chasing down those gravel roads back to where I began

Stars above a maple tree, porch light shining low

That country heart will find its way, and finally rest at home
