Homecoming

Take me home

I've been away

I felt wind whip across the valley

I've seen fire burn a west coast sky

But it's the little things, humidity and Spanish moss in the trees

I'm thinking 'bout where I was raised tonight

Take me home

I've been away

But that train only goes as far as Austin

And I can't afford a ticket on a plane

Maybe I'm reaching for something that ain't coming

Yeah, you can say my hope is blind

But all you need to fix a dream is six strings and cheap gasoline

It's hard to see the truth when it's disguised

Take me home

I've been away

I've got my thumb in the air bound for 'Bama

Or I might stop to play for tips in New Orleans

One, two, three, four

I can hear thunder rolling, it's like a whisper

I can smell rain coming in the dawn

And I think, who am I? What is this? And what are things I truly miss

'Cause when I'm home I'll know I'll be long gone

Take me home

I've been away

Take me home

I've been away

Yeah, take me home

I've been away

Take me home

I've been away
