Story Behind the Song
The first song I wrote at age 18. It is about going back to the old hometown after being away for several years, and finding that the place remained much the same, but that I had changed.
Lyrics
Came rolling down the highway, with a goal jammed in my mind.
Looking for some old friends, and a chance to just unwind.
Down the road and over the valley, to the mountain far behind.
My life has played I've wandered there, through the misty shrouds of time.
The fields of corn and clover, harsh scream the old black crows.
I feel the land so green beneath me start to climb and rise away,
I got a feeling deep within me that I'm going home today.
Yea, I'm going home today.
And the house it still stands beautiful, not to fancy, not too plain.
I go inside, and ghosts surround me, it's a funny sort of pain.
Coming back to a place that's made me, I done a lot to make it too.
But now it belongs to all those people, so near, yet so far from you,
so near, yet so far from you.
And the ghosts fly all around me, leaving memories on my mind.
I let the spirits of the old days bring my soul with them through time.
And I see the sights of summer haven't changed while I'm away.
But the people there, they're all the same, and it's only me that's changed.
Yes, it's only me that's changed.
Coming back to a place that's made me, I done a lot to make it too.
But now it belongs to all those people,
so near yet so far from you, so near yet so far from you, so near yet so far from you, so near, so far, from you.
