Story Behind the Song
Dark, and reflective, this song captures ones longing to return home, to all the places that make home comfortable.
Lyrics
Well I spent too much time
Down south of the Mason-Dixon line
And I know what's got me down.
You're just a liar
You cheat and steal
Your cold cold heart,
What's you're deal, tonight?
I think I know what you need
Duster plane,
Chevrolet,
Tractor rusts and the skies are gray,
Rain comes down,
Washes you clean,
In the river valley of Tennessee.
My pain goes undetected
I'm so calm, I'm so collected
Don't you ever wish to be like me.
I'm lost
Misdirected
I'm so gone I'm disconnected
Don't you see what I need?
Duster plane,
Chevrolet,
Tractor rusts and the skies are gray
Motor homes, motorbikes
I'll be making my way home tonight.
Bars you remember, Faces you've seen
Hands holding glasses with motives pristine
Wont you come back, please?
Well I spend
Too much time
Thinkin' bout it in my mind
Sometimes it seems so clear to me
What I need is here for free:
Duster planes and Chevrolets
Rusting by the tractors in fields of green
The sky's turning gray by the moon
You'll be home, soon.
