Story Behind the Song
I wrote this song on an airplane heading back home to Florida from New York State. Back at college, our band had just opened on the big stage for "The Winters Bros." & "Grinder Switch". The lyrics are about the feeling you get when after you have lots of hard work behind you. The song actually took about half an hour to write and about 3 hours to record. This song was recorded at Pyramid Studios in Ithaca, N.Y. with the help of studio giant Alex Pirialis.
Lyrics
Jet engines thunder, I'm on the road
Into the sky, fly me home
I'll play my music 'cause I love the night,
But home is my road's end
And it's almost in sight.
Chorus
Southern seas I'll be a rowin'
Ocean mist will fill the air
No more weight will I be towin'
I can't believe I'm almost there
Southern Wind, keep on blowin'
Sing your warm and sunny song
Straight ahead is where I'm goin'
Straight back home where I belong
Through clouds of amber into the sun
Back to the southland, I'm on the run
Big bird a-fly me over my hometown
Take me over my backyard and set me down
(Chorus)
I can see the runway, it's in front of me
My legs are restless, I'll soon be free
This plane's a-landin' in the Sunshine State
Friendly people sunny weather, how I can't wait.
(Chorus)
