No Place Like Home
When I turned eighteen
I was ready to go
Where things moved faster
and not so damn slow.
So with a smile on my face
and dads words in my ear,
"son we love you,
and will always be here"
So I hit a big city
where things moved fast.
I thought God I made
I made it at last.
No wheat fields to see
no hay to toss.
At home I knew where I was,
here I can get lost.
I was there for a week,
never made that first friend.
Back home in Kentucky
like this its never been.
As I looked at tall buildings
and had people pass me by.
I wondered what they thought
as I stood there and cried.
With a million people around me
I still felt so alone.
There was one thought in my mind,
I want to go home.
As I got off that bus,
and dad hugged me near.
He said"see son I told you,
we would always be here"
