lyrics

Home is an Eight Letter Word

The smell of grass always takes me back to my younger days
Life was good back in my neighborhood here in the middle of the state,
If home is where your heart should be
Mine never fell very far from the tree…..

From the mountains to the coast
Don’t know where I love the most
So don’t put me on a leash,
And as far as I can tell
Most people they can’t spell, don’t you see
Home is an eight letter word to me

I can’t let go of that sand between my toes from my last walk on the beach
The salty air is still blowin’ in my hair and through my memories,
Where two brothers decided to fly
Home for tourist since 1585….

From the mountains to the coast
Don’t know where I love the most
So don’t put me on a leash,
And as far as I can tell
Most people they can’t spell, don’t you see
Home is an eight letter word to me
Home is an eight letter word to me

….We got mountains bluer than a summer sky
The autumn leaves paint a perfect scene every time…

From the mountains to the coast
Don’t know where I love the most
So don’t put me on a leash,
And as far as I can tell
Most people they can’t spell, don’t you see
Home is an eight letter word to me
Home is an eight word to me
Home is an eight word to me
“Cause in my mind I’m gone to CAROLINA
Can’t you see the sunshine, can’t you just feel the moonshine
Ain’t it just like a friend of mine to hit you from behind,”
Home is an eight letter word to me
