Coming Home 04:14
lyrics

Life down here well it ain’t so great The world’s gone crazy and it’s filled with hate People are mean and people are cruel They’ve broken each and every golden rule Hey mom, hey dad I miss you so There’s a part of me that can’t let go I’m coming home I’m coming home I’m coming home I’m coming home It’s a world of fear and world of lies Don’t know your foes from your allies I feel done and all worn out I live in the shadows of my doubt I’m shedding myself of these scars I’m climbing the up the stairs to the stars Wanna break on through to the other side Wanna waltz across the great divide

Can’t wait to move Can’t wait to go Can’t wait to thrive and grow Can’t be slow, no no Out of this world Out of this world Out of this world Out of this world Out of this world Out of this world Gotta get out or bust Out of this world Wanderlust Can’t wait to leave Can’t wait to split Can’t wait to say I quit I won’t submit, no no Hit the road Hit the road And don’t look back Can’t wait to soar Can’t wait to fly Can’t wait to say goodbye Say goodbye, yeah yeah

You Can't Go Home Again 06:26
lyrics
buy track
I pulled in to my old town A town I hadn't seen in years I'd forgotten the names of the streets And the names of my old peers My old house and my old school They pretty much looked the same But there was something dark underneath Something I could not name You can't go home again No you can't go home again There ain't nothing for you there There ain't no one who gives a care I went to a bar to get me a drink And I saw my old buddy Joe I asked him what he'd been up to And he said, Who really wants to know You've not been back here since '72 So it's not like you give a shit Whoever we are, whatever we do Look around, this is it Joe and I got into his truck And we drove out to Buzzards Dam We talked about the old times And when he got back from Nam Joe, he got pretty shit-faced And said, Some things never last I'm not sure what the answer is But it doesn't exist in the past

Remember This House 04:23
lyrics
buy track
It's all I've ever known This place that I call home This place I hang my hat I know all its smells I know them all so well I know where the bodies are at Remember this house It's my kin and kith It's the length and width My universe in a box It is my resting place The place I wash my face The place I hang my socks Let me go home I want to go home Well I feel so broke up I want to go home It's my mom and dad It's my happy and sad It's the place I've found my peace It is my tea at noon It's my fork and spoon It's where I sign my lease

Home for Little Wanderers 03:38
lyrics
buy track
Take me away take me today Can't take it no more Save me a place A secret space Take away to a garden of eden Under the floor There's a place A home for little wanderers There's a place where I belong There's a place A home for little wanderers I sing your song Misbegotten, feeling rotten All alone All alone I'm on my knees Please, please, please I'm on my own Just need a little place for the night Just need a little loving to make it right Don't eat much, pretty clean No trouble at all Just need a bed To lay my head Give me a call, yeah Give me a call

Home Before Dawn 03:57
lyrics
buy track
I am out here on the highway Driving between hither and yon And I wonder where I am going And how I can keep moving along Is it all a dream Will I ever know And if I wake will it all be gone I study the stars And I ask my god Will I be home before dawn I make my way to a sad motel And in my room I find a holy book It tells me Jesus is my friend And I feel the love of the holy spook And he says, Keep on the road The road ain't long And you will be home before dawn I am back out on that highway Looking for a little peace of mind Don't got no maps or a destination But my stars are all aligned

Got No Home 04:41
lyrics
buy track
I done kicked around both hither and yon And I never found a place where I could belong Never had a home to call my own Never had a closet to hang my coat And my momma, well she barely kept us afloat And my poppa he was a rolling stone Got no home that I can call my home I live out in the sticks where the buffalo roam 'Cause where I roam is where I'm at Got no space where I can store my stuff I live my life and I don't take guff The world is my own welcome mat Well I hooked up with Katie and her broke-down van Got all our meals from a garbage can It wasn't so neat but then it wasn't so bad I played guitar and she played the drums We rambled all around like a couple of bums Then she went and left me for a dude named Brad Home, old bitter home Home, old bitter home Tried to get a job but there were none to be had Just one more unemployed liberal-arts grad With dirt on his shoes and a song in his heart I moved to Chicago and then to Spokane

Long Walk Home 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Tried to put the pieces back together But none seemed to want to fit I threw my hands up in a fit of pique And said this is where I want to quit This is where I want to quit This time for sure It was a long walk, long walk home Midnight in the rain It was a long walk, long walk home My life a rivulet going down the drain I guess we made a holy mess of things And no one knows just how to fix it Yeah this guy says he got the answer But that's just the way he wants to mix it And he mix it He mix it up It's just you and me kid We're on our way We're on our way On the long walk home Tried to put the pieces back together But none seemed to want to fit I guess this is the time to quit

Follow You Home 05:13
lyrics
buy track
You can say whatever you want In whatever way that you want to But that don’t mean that I gotta buy it You can conjure up some silly old tale You can make sound true as can be But in truth you will deny it You can try to push me away Say some truly hateful things But that won't make me want to flee ‘Cause deep down I feel your love Deep down you can fake it Can’t fake what you feel for me Just like some faithful old pet I will follow you home I believe you aren't done with me yet Not done with me yet So I will follow you home I will follow you home You can put on your graces and airs You can tell yourself what you need to hear But it all seems like a lot of work You can believe I don’t mean nothing Believe you can remain unmoved You can believe you think I’m a jerk You can say I should be mad you You can say that’s what I should feel But that just takes you off the hook I see right through your game I know it all too well Yeah I should know ‘cause I wrote the book Wherever you go, I will go Wherever you are, I won’t be far One day I bet you’ll kick yourself And wonder why you let me go And you didn’t do more to hold me tight One day I bet you’ll be sorry And you will miss me like no other It’s always twenty-twenty in hindsight

Brought Me Home 04:21
lyrics

Take my hand, you said Take my hand And walk with me out of the wasteland I will lead you to a better place I will lead you home If you trust me Can you trust me I will lead you home Take my hand, you said Take my hand Walk with me out of the dead zone I won't give you what you want But I will give you what you need If you trust me Can you trust me I will give you what you need I was out there all alone Had no connection on my telephone But then you found me And you brought me home You brought me home Take my hand, you said Take my hand Walk with me out of your nightmares I will drag from your sleep And help you face a brand new day If you trust me Can you trust me You can face a brand new day No one's ever talked like this to me before No, no one's ever quenched my thirst No one's ever talked like this to me before This has got to be a first

Find My Way Back Home 07:12
lyrics
buy track
And suddenly the lights came on And I could see for a million miles And every face looked queer to me Strangers’ eyes, strangers’ smiles I don’t know no one here And no one here knows me I’m adrift on a tiny boat In the middle of a raging sea Who goes there, who goes there Anyone, anyone Is there anyone out there Anyone out there anywhere I'm just trying to find my way I'm just trying to find my way I'm just trying to find my way I'm just trying to find my way And suddenly the lights came on And I could see beyond the sky I didn't need no telescope I took it in with my naked eye Nothing felt at all familiar Didn't know a single face Strangers’ eyes, strangers’ smiles And me I had no place Who goes there, who goes there Anyone, anyone Is there anyone out there Anyone out there anywhere I'm just trying to find my way I'm just trying to find my way I'm just trying to find my way I'm just trying to find my way

Home to You 05:50
lyrics
buy track
Thought I left you long ago Well it looks like I thought wrong Thought I had the strength to let you go But I guess I was not that strong So many roads I’ve gone down So many places I’ve passed on through But every direction I’ve ever taken Always leads me straight back home to you Every night when I go to bed Well I pray you are not in my dreams Thought I relieved myself of you But I’m still bursting, bursting at the seams I bet that you must hate me For all of the pain that I’ve wrought I just hope you can forgive me It’s all I’ve ever sought
