Homebound

A warm road song about returning, letting go and discovering that home can be a state of mind.

Sometimes all you’re searching for is already home.

Lyrics

Verse 1

The engine hums beneath me A pale and restless sky The fields are slowly waking As another town rolls by A worn-out station coffee Still warming up my hands The morning never hurries It always understands

Pre-Chorus

Every mile behind me Fades into the blue Every road keeps asking What I’m driving to

Chorus

I’m homebound With the sunrise on my side Homebound Nothing left to hide Every winding highway Every silent town Takes a little weight away As the miles roll down I’m homebound

Verse 2

A lonely church beside me A river turning gold The wind knows every secret That nobody ever told The world begins so gently Without a single sound Funny how the longest roads Can turn your heart around

Pre-Chorus

Leave the clock behind you Leave the noise alone Sometimes all you’re searching for Is already home

Chorus

I’m homebound With the sunrise on my side Homebound Nothing left to hide Every winding highway Every silent town Takes a little weight away As the miles roll down I’m homebound

Bridge

I don’t need tomorrow To promise something new This morning feels enough somehow To carry me on through Every fading shadow Every open sky Reminds me life keeps moving Without asking why

Final Chorus

I’m homebound With the sunrise on my side Homebound Where the silence feels alive Every winding highway Every quiet mile Leads me back to who I am One sunrise at a time I’m homebound… I’m homebound…
