Inspiration for this song:                                                                                                         

This song is about the time I ran away from home at the age of 17. My inspiraton for writing this song was to inspire people to keep trying despite their mistakes.  I wrote this song to encourage runaways to go back home.

 

 

Verse 1

At seventeen I thought I knew it all

so I left to make it on my own

down the highway in my Chevrolet

I set out to be a rolling stone

I called my mother from Toledo

to tell her I wasn’t coming home

I still remember what she said to me

before we got off the phone

 

Chorus

Whatever you’re searching for

home is where the heart is

whatever your reasons are

for leaving it doesn’t matter

wherever you may roam

you can always come back home

to where the heart is

 

Verse 2

I ended up in Newport, Tennessee

just a young misguided fool

the nights were cold and the days were long

for a kid dropped out of school

I had to sell everythng I had

for some food and a place to stay

I called my mother from a pay phone

and this is what she had to say

 

Chorus

Whatever you’re searching for

home is where the heart is

whatever your reasons are

for leaving it doesn’t matter

wherever you may roam

you can always come back home

to where the heart is

 

Chorus

Whatever you’re searching for

home is where the heart is

whatever your reason are

for leaving it doesn’t matter

wherever you may roam

you can always come back home

 

you can always come back home . . .

you can always come back home . . .
