When Was The Last Time You Were Home? Lyrics

Taking a ride down veterans drive

I know every block as it blurs by

I could do it with my eyes closed

When was the last time you were home?

It's a simpler place from a simpler time

There were kids my age or at least close to my age

We could play outside on our own

When was the last time you were home?

Red oak trees pot-holed streets

Water towers grocery meats

The sound of the dial tone

When was the last time you were home?

There's the Dairy Queen where I had my first job

Where I saw my first gun, took my first drugs

We were 15 or 16 years old

She was twisting cones

When was the last time you were home?

Underneath the bridge by the riverside

Where those vampires lured a drifter within

And cracked his skull with a stone

When was the last time you were home?

The monastery nursing floor

Where they hide the monks no one wants to know

How they stole the youth from those poor souls

When was the last time you were home?

First place I go is that shoreline

Where they don't build houses

And don't allow boats

And I hold my breath underwater for a while
