Home Again Lyrics

I learned some of my favorite songs

Under the Milky Way

Sitting around a campfire

Charlie on the MTA

I picked up my sister's guitar

I learned how to play

It wasn't long before Larry and Tom

Booked our band for pay

In the junkyard we pulled the parts

To build a PA of our own

Someone's Dad had an amplifier

Someone found an old microphone

We carried it all behind our bikes

In the wagons we'd outgrown

Learned Summertime Blues, Iron Butterfly

And the Rolling Stones

At the American Legion Hall

There was a bandstand with lights

Boys, it felt like a dream to play

Music on a Saturday night

Standing up there for real

Feel what it's like

Those nights with my friends, they play in my head

Like an old black and white

Now I'm crowding sixty two, boys

Still holding a guitar

Maybe I'm a fool, boys

Chase it this far

There's a beat to this life

There's a beat to this heart

Singing right to the end, every song that I can

Til the bandstand goes dark

That song about Charlie, they say

He never returned again

It occurs to me

Maybe I'm a little like him

I jumped on the train

And all the places I've been

No matter how far I go, it's the ones I love so

That bring me home again
