Home Lyrics

Some suburban afternoon
I rode down Ashley to the tracks
Hoped the train would come by soon
But you came and called me back in
Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
Halloween is best of all
With grass so high, streets so long
It takes forever to get home
In the kitchen after dark
On a hot, late summer's night

Fans revolve and dogs they bark
Moths are drawn by candle light
Screen doors slam, street lights go on
Mothers call their children home
Know who I am and where I'm from
And I know I'll soon be going
Beyond the fence, rivers flow
Rain and sun, ice and snow
Through streets so wide, days so long
It takes forever to get home
Between the river and the rail
Skin and bone, tooth and nail
With hopes so high, years so long
It takes forever to get home
Some suburban afternoon
I rode down Ashley to the tracks
Hoped the train would come by soon
But you came and called me back
Came and called me back
But you came and called me back
