Jeremy James - Home (feat. Almost Awake) Lyrics

Daddy's sitting on the front porch he's got a beer in his hands
And mama's in the kitchen, she's paying attention to a frying pan
There's a rusty old pickup truck on concrete blocks in the yard
And a sky so big it makes you think that heaven must be full of twinkling stars
This is home to me

We got a picture of Jesus on the wall and some footprints in the sand
Says that's where I carried you on our way to the promised land
But I don't seem to remember his version of this song
What I recall is all the times that I had to walk alone
But this is home to me

When I'm crossing that red state line
I can't help but to demonize it
I'm watching this road unwind
And I'm in a blue state of mind

Growing up down south I guess you could say that I just really did not fit in
With the bible beaters, the tee-totallers, the conservatives, and the Republicans
So I made plans to move up north and that's where I found my life
So what if it didn't happen to include a dog, a fence, or a wife
It is home to me

I still think of honeysuckle when it's blooming bright in the spring
You can take the boy out of the country but you cannot take my country from me
'Cause it is home to me

When I look back on that red state life
I can't help but to romanticize it
I'm watching my life unwind
And I'm in a blue state of mind

When I look back on my red state life
I can't help but to romanticize it
I'm watching two worlds collide
I'm in a blue state of mind
I'm in a blue state of mind
I'm in this blue state of mine
