Cue Country Roads
Homeward Bound: A Melodic Journey Through Longing Landscapes
Lyrics
I've been gone so long away from my home
I've been away from my home for a long time
Most outsiders with a gumption to roam
Most people who have the courage to explore beyond their comfort zones
I used to live high beneath the mountain sky
I used to live in a high place beneath the mountain sky
If you asked me how I left
If you asked me how I left that place
I couldn't tell you why
I couldn't provide a clear reason for leaving
Cue country roads come on and take me home
Invoke the spirit of country roads and guide me back home
Cue country roads come on and take me home
Repeat of the plea to country roads to take the singer home
I miss the lightning in the
I miss the excitement or intensity of life
Bottle from a copper still
Mention of lightning in a bottle from a copper still, a metaphor for something rare and precious
Hiding in the hallway up in their mills
Recollection of hiding in the hallway, possibly a nostalgic memory
I miss the whine of a
Expressing longing for the sound of a fiddle
Fiddle and the banjo ring
Missing the resonating sound of a banjo
When I cross the state line
Feeling compelled to sing when crossing state lines, suggesting a deep connection to a specific place
I can't help but sing
Cue country roads come on and take me home
Another repetition of the plea for country roads to take the singer home
Cue country roads come on and take me home
Further repetition of the desire to return home via country roads
Cue country roads come on and take me home
Continued plea to country roads to guide the singer home
Cue country roads come on and take me home
Final repetition of the plea to country roads
Cue country roads
I welcome the day when our
Anticipation for the day when the mountain mama is on the singer's stones, possibly a metaphor for a loved one
Mountain mama on my stones
Cue country roads come on and take me home
Reiteration of the plea for country roads to take the singer home
Cue country roads come on and take me home
Repeat of the desire for country roads to guide the singer back home
Cue country roads come on and take me home
Another plea to country roads to take the singer home
Cue country roads come on and take me home
Continued request for country roads to guide the singer back home
Cue country roads
Final plea to country roads to take the singer home
