Home Is Where the Yard Is
Finding Solace in Green Pastures: Home Is Where the Yard Is
Lyrics
And I tried to fit the work mans tie, greeted all the strangers passing by
Expressing an attempt to conform to a conventional work life by wearing a workman's tie and politely acknowledging strangers.
Hello, goodbye, I said patiently while I sit patiently
Repeating the courteous greetings while waiting patiently.
And they say that home is where the heart is
Referencing the common saying that suggests home is where emotional attachment lies.
But the home is, the home is, the home is, the home is where the yard is
Challenging the conventional idea of home, emphasizing that the real home is in the yard rather than within the house.
And I tried to be a family man
Acknowledging an attempt to be a family-oriented person.
But the grass is getting longer, longer, longer, longer, I'm a loner
Expressing a sense of isolation with the metaphor of the grass getting longer, indicating a growing distance or loneliness.
They say the grass is always greener on the other side, but it's the inside, the inside, the inside
Contrasting the belief that opportunities are better elsewhere with the realization that fulfillment comes from within.
So pack your suit and pack your ties
Suggesting a departure from the conventional life by advising to pack belongings, including the symbolic "suitcase full of lies."
Pack it in your suitcase full of lies with your letters
Highlighting the deceitful nature of the packed suitcase, possibly indicating a departure based on falsehoods.
So pack your suit and pack your ties
Reiterating the advice to pack belongings, emphasizing the presence of lies in the suitcase.
Pack it in your suitcase full of lies with your letters you've written
Emphasizing the act of writing letters with lies, possibly indicating a communication of falsehoods.
Explaining your hello, goodbyes
Referring to the letters as explanations for the courteous greetings and farewells.
Hello, goodbye
Repetition of the hellos and goodbyes, possibly symbolizing a cycle of interactions or a pattern of departure.
Hello, goodbye
-Hello, goodbye
-Hello, goodbye
