Lyrics

Homeland
Words and Music by John Turner

I get a rush
the first time I find myself there again
down in the homeland
Blue-green, orange and the red
how the sky meets the trees
down in the homeland
You can call me sentimental
you can call me a fool
but it takes me to a better place

I got my eye on your apple blossom
blomming out over the hill
down in the homeland
Sweet smell of spring is in the air
I run my fingers through your hair
down in the homeland
So won't you come follow me there
won't you come walk in my shoes
and I'll take you to a better place

Down in the homeland
Down in the homeland
'Cause I get a rush
the first time I find myself there again
down in the homeland

Rows and rows of white, A-frame cottages
lined up in front of a sea of wonder
Oh how I long to reach out
and touch the colors of the sunset
that keeps following me

There are secrets that I know
I hope my friends will someday show
down in the homeland
That's alright 'cause somewhere down the line
they will make a better find
down in the homeland

Because we all come from somewhere
we all must do right
and take that trip someday

Down in the homeland
Down in the homeland
'Cause I get a rush
the first time I find myself there again

Down in the homeland
Down in the homeland
