From the recording Dazzlingly Uncool
A song about the importance of "home."
Lyrics
I went eight miles up, across a sea,
just working on a plan.
I lived next door to Her Majesty,
and in a winter wonderland.
From the mountains to the canyon,
and all points in between.
Could it be my promised land,
Is where it’s always been?
Because I realize,
a Texas Sunrise,
may be all I really need.
And, in other words,
there always will be mockingbirds,
but here they’re musical to me.
I found this Bear gets hard to handle,
if it gets too far from the pan.
And though my head may tell me "ramble,"
at least my feet know where to land.
There's something deep down in your soul they say,
that tells you where you'll resonate.
Where your body is conditioned,
although the heat is hard to take.
Because I realize,
a Texas Sunrise,
may be all I really need.
And, in other words,
there always will be mockingbirds,
but here they’re musical to me.
Ooh, where are you going to?
Ooh, where have you been?
Ooh, where do you wanna be?
Ooh, say it again.
Because I realize,
a Texas Sunrise,
may be all I really need.
And, in other words,
there always will be mockingbirds,
but here they’re musical to me.
Ooh, where do you wanna go?
Ooh, love where you've been.
After all the traveling’s over,
you may ask where’s this story end.
It seems my wanderlust has taken me,
out there and back again.
