Lyrics

home by dark by james casto

V1: The world was so small when I was a boy
Just baseball and Toughskins I could not destroy
And Hope was easily found
On that hallowed ground
In my small town

CH: I still skip rocks whenever I walk by a river
I still throw strikes to an imaginary hitter
I?ve placed each memory in a phrase close to my heart
Go run and play
Do what you say
And be home by dark

V2: Get home from school, it?s Hi-C with a straw
Then back out the door to the games in our yard
Dreams were easily found
On that hallowed ground
In my small midwestern town

CH: I still skip rocks whenever I walk by a river
I still throw strikes to an imaginary hitter
I?ve placed each memory in a phrase close to my heart
Go run and play
Do what you say
And be home by dark

BR: Sometimes time plays a trick on my brain
I wake up and swear I?m 10 again

CH: I still skip rocks whenever I walk by a river
I still throw strikes to that imaginary hitter
I?ve placed each memory in a phrase close to my heart
Go run and play
Do what you say
And be home by dark
