GET ME BACK HOME

Faded blue jeans

Worn out dreams

And a dog-eared picture of you

Traffic sounds

Fan goes round

In a window without a moon

Why was I in such a rush to leave?

What was so important then escapes me

And I'm missing you girl

Missing you so

Gotta get back cause I paid all I owned

To this steel-fisted city

Gotta get me back home

Back to the barefoot road

Gotta get me back home

Paper thin walls

Ain't heard the call

Of a wild bird chasing the stars

No mountain spring

No porch swing

To rock in to a slow guitar

I still feel the wetness on your face

As I brushed a wisp of hair back in place

Oh I'm missing you girl

Missing you so

Gotta get back cause I paid all I owned

To this steel-fisted city

Gotta get me back home

Back to the barefoot road

Gotta get me back home

Coupla
months, I'll save up enough

For a one way ticket, west bound

I only pray, baby you'll wait

Till
I'm standin' on my own ground

Y'know I'm missing you girl

Missing you so

Gotta get back cause I paid all I owned

To this steel-fisted city

Gotta get me back home

Back to the barefoot road

Gotta get me back home

Oh this sky is the size of a postage stamp

It's hard to find your way to the exit ramp

But I'm gonna get back, gonna get me back home
