Homestead in My Heart
Homestead Harmony: Love's Refuge Beyond the Road
Lyrics
Well it seems that we've been runnin' from are past
Reflecting on running away from the past experiences
Life never gave us time to settle down
Life has been too busy for settling down
And you questioned whether frightened love can last
Questioning the durability of love in fearful situations
And that ole highway song is just not where it's at
Rejecting the idea that the highway lifestyle is fulfilling
The trees roll by and the white lines hold me back
Traveling impedes progress, symbolized by trees and white lines
From mobile to Denver there's something that they all lack
From Mobile to Denver, something essential is missing
So until we find a place to make a new start
Seeking a place to start anew
I will build you a homestead in my heart
Committing to building a metaphorical homestead in the heart
Well I'm lookin' at you sleepin' across the seat
Observing a loved one sleeping during a journey
And the whine of the trucks are fillin' up my ears
The noise of trucks emphasizes the challenges faced
All the highs and lows left somewhere in between
Life's ups and downs left in the middle
All those one night stands between Dallas and new Orleans
Recalling one-night stands on the road
Well I can't offer much except the love
Offering love as a guitar picker, a simple but genuine gesture
Of a guitar picker ain't nobody thinkin' of
Acknowledging that not many value the love offered
So until we find a place to make a new start
Continuing the search for a place to start afresh
I will build you a homestead in my heart
Reiterating the commitment to build a homestead in the heart
So until we find a place to make a new start
Emphasizing the ongoing quest for a new beginning
I will build you a homestead in my heart
Reaffirming the promise to create a lasting emotional home
