It Ain't Home

(앨범: Dirt Road Revival - 2021)

Home ain't found in a pot of gold
So I quit chasing rainbows
If it ain't a small town with a dirt road
To take me home, to take me far away
From the fast life and city lights
I need a moonlit night on a side by side
Like my cellphone, I may roam
But I won't be gone long
Cause it ain't home

East to the west coast, I've rocked shows
In some of the most beautiful places you can go
Saw Florida mangoes, potatoes in Idaho
Even skied slopes when it was below zero
I rode the polar express with my kids in Durango
Got drunk at Myrtle Beach 'bout had me a heat stroke
Went back to shower off, made a couple of mixed tapes
Smoked some trees, shot the breeze and was on my way
Sixteen hours later, straight drove all through the night
Just to arrive and sleep all day
At least Imma sleep alright
They call me turn around Charlie
I don't like being gone
I always turn around 'cause I know that

Home ain't found in a pot of gold
So I quit chasing rainbows
If it ain't a small town with a dirt road
To take me home, to take me far away
From the fast life and city lights
I need a moonlit night on a side by side
Like my cellphone, I may roam
But I won't be gone long
Cause it ain't home

You can say there's more to do and see
Taller trees or tasting your collard greens
And I ain't gone say that you're wrong
I'll only say, that it ain't home
You can tell me
That I can't make twice the dirt
You're right I supposed but I can't sell a soul that I don't own
What you mean?
Man, it just ain't home
Look, I know there's prettier places
Friendlier faces
More money to be made if I just moved away
But I can't
It's got all of me, I'll always be
Country with no apology

Home ain't found in a pot of gold
So I quit chasing rainbows
If it ain't a small town with a dirt road
To take me home, to take me far away
From the fast life and city lights
I need a moonlit night on a side by side
Like my cellphone, I may roam
But I won't be gone long
Cause it ain't home
