The Home Place Lyrics

I grew up in an urban town

The first time I heard

A guitar sound

My old man

Pickin' a song "Wildwood Flower"

I think it was called

He always said that we'd go back'

It always seemed

A matter of fact

Someday we'd leave this place

Back to a town far away

The pictures in his mind he tried to describe

Were all his dreams from another time

A little farm outside Coalgate

Stood a house he left

When he was eight

And ever since he left there

He said he's going back

And here life feels a little out of pace

Always dreaming 'about

That open space

And when he's in that deep, deep stare

I know he's going back to The Home Place

He worked the fields for a quarter a day

It went in his old man's pocket that's where it stayed

He loved singing

Country Western songs

Church on Sunday

Is where he belonged

He fell in love with a Chickasaw girl

From East Jesse, rocked his little world

He knew it wouldn't take long

Cause he was already gone

He would go back if he could

But it was heaven right where he stood

A little farm outside Coalgate

Stood a house he left

When he was eight

And ever since he left there

He said he's going back

And here life feels a little out of pace

Always dreaming 'about

That open space

And when he's in that deep, deep stare

I know he's going back to The Home Place

His father said I'm getting old

There's one last thing

Before I go

Take the old land

Take it off my hands

Maybe someday

You can hold

On to our past

Don't let it go

There's nothing there anyway

Still there's something to say

Everything in his heart he holds

Is right there he knows

A little farm outside Coalgate

Stood a house he left

When he was eight

And ever since he left there

He said he's going back

And here life feels a little out of pace

Always dreaming 'about

That open space

And when he's in that deep, deep stare

I know he's going back to The Home Place

One daydream away

And he's back in the day

He's going back to

The Home Place
