Homecoming

Take me home
I've been away

I've 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 could 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 got my thumb in the air, I'm bound for 'Bama
Or I might stop to play for tips in New Orleans

One, two, three, four, woo!

I can hear thunder roar, it's like a whisper
I can smell the 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 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
