Home Run

(album: Good Day For Living - 2022)

Life's been coming at me like a fastball
Been in the weeds, be nice to see some corn growing tall
Need to trade some hurry up, for some hey y'all
Oh and I can't hug my momma through these phone calls
Need to drive, through the pines
See my boys, wet a line
And drink a beer on the edge of town
Been striking out

It's time I hit a home run
Point it toward that south sun
I'll be touching bases with them faces
All them places I ain't been too in way too long
Cuz I've been way too gone
Swinging for the fences I've been missing where I come from
It's time I hit a home run

I need to hear that skillet popping in the kitchen
Stop and smell the magnolias
I'll be on a mission
Maybe go and pay that tombstone a visit
Ain't felt nothing that real in a minute

It's time I hit a home run
Point it toward that south sun
I'll be touching bases with them faces
All them places I ain't been too in way too long
Cuz I've been way too gone
Swinging for the fences I've been missing where I come from
It's time I hit a home run

I might leave tonight
Cuz what I need is waiting on me past that welcome sign
Home run
Running back to those dreams
I used to have when I was 17
Home run

It's time I hit a home run
Point it toward that south sun
I'll be touching bases with them faces
All them places I ain't been too in way too long
Cuz I've been way too gone
Swinging for the fences I've been missing where I come from
It's time I hit a home run

Tonight I need a home run
Home run
I might leave tonight
