lyrics

All that I've known so far
Have been highways, churches, jails, and bars
But they've rounded me well
They showed me Heaven and Hell
But the God of which they tell
Was in neither cloud nor flame

So I made up a God inside my head
But pretty soon it felt like it made me up instead
I hung its picture on the wall
One day there was nothing there at all
Just shadows of rainfall
In an empty frame

I had home on my mind
I guess it just takes some time
To realize where I went blind
To see that home that I seek
Is in every line of my cheek
So now I smile every time
I pass another mileage sign
Say, “That's that home of mine”

It was in Big Sur I lost my shoes
In a poker game to a pretty dame who traded me the blues
I took ‘em with me all the way
To that blue Manzanillo Bay
It was there they stayed
Burning in the fire

Now the road seems to shift and swerve
Every time I think I'll finally get what I deserve
Some say you are what you earn
I say you're nothing if you ain't learned
That who you are
Can never be for hire

When you got home on your mind
I guess it just takes some time
To realize where you went blind
To see that home that you seek
Is in every line of your cheek
So now you smile every time
You pass another mileage sign
Say, “That's that home of mine!”
