Paul Brandt - Home lyrics

Front porch light would be turned on

And I was always gone too long

Curfew was at 10pm

And I'd sneak in trying not to wake him when I got

Home

Daddy always said I was half a bubble off plumb

Head-strong and stubborn and maybe I was

And I couldn't wait to leave

Last place I in the world I wanted to be was

Home

Now I'm flying down that old dirt road

But it seems these wheels are spinning slow

I'd never left that way if I'd have only known

That he's gone, so here I am

Home

I sat in my car and cried

Wished to God he was still alive

Inside, mama wiped my tears

She said, "He would have been so happy that you're here

At home

Then I thought about my life

About my kids and about my wife

About how time just flies no matter what you do

And every soccer game I have missed

And every time I fight when I could forgive

And how I can't let it come to this

When I get home

Now I'm flying down that old dirt road

But it seems these wheels are spinning slow

And it's taken me a while but now I finally know

Everything that matters most is at home

Everything that matters most is at home
