Homesick Remedy

All that I've known so far
 Have been highways, churches
 Jails, and bars
 But they've rounded me well
 They showed me Heaven and Hell
 But the God of which they tell
 Was in neither cloud nor flame
 So, I made up a God inside my head
 But pretty soon it felt like it made me up instead
 I hung its picture on the wall
 One day there was nothing there at all
 Just shadows of rainfall in an empty frame
 I had home on my mind
 I guess it just takes some time
 To realize where I went blind
 To see that home that I seek
 Is in every line of my cheek
 So, now I smile every time
 I pass another mileage sign
 Say, "That's that home of mine."
 ♪
 It was in Big Sur, I lost my shoes
 In a poker game to a pretty dame
 Who traded me the blues
 I took 'em with me all the way
 To that blue, Manzanillo Bay
 It was there, they stayed
 Burning in the fire
 When you got home on your mind
 I guess it just takes some time
 To realize where you went blind
 To see that home that you seek
 Is in every line of your cheek
 So, now you smile every time
 You pass another mileage sign
 Say, "That's that home of mine."
 
 Now the road seems to shift and swerve
 Every time I think I'll finally get what I deserve
 Some say you are what you earn
 I say you're nothing if you ain't learned
 That who you are can never be for hire
 We got home on our minds
 I guess it just took some time
 To realize where we went blind
 To see that home that we seek
 Is in every line of our cheek
 So, now we smile every time
 We pass another mileage sign
 And say, "That's that home of mine!"
