Finally Home - Ray Walker The Return to Cedar Valley Live

Finally Home Verse 1 I’ve chased a thousand miles of highway lines Under neon moons and borrowed skies Watched the seasons change through a windshield frame And carried dreams that never knew my name I’ve slept where the city lights drowned out the stars And listened to the silence in crowded bars But every road I wandered, every place I’d roam Was just another mile between me and home Chorus Now I’m finally home Where the front porch light still shines Like it never gave up on me all this time And the wind through the pines sings a familiar song Yeah, I’ve been gone so long But my heart always knew where it belonged After all these years, all these roads I’ve roamed I’m finally home Verse 2 There’s an old oak tree standing by the drive A little more weathered, but still alive And the screen door creaks the way it always did Like it’s welcoming back a wandering kid Mama’s pictures still hang on the wall And the clock in the kitchen still runs a little slow Funny how the things I thought I’d outgrow Are the very things I needed most Chorus Now I’m finally home Where the front porch light still shines Like it never gave up on me all this time And the wind through the pines sings a familiar song Yeah, I’ve been gone so long But my heart always knew where it belonged After all these years, all these roads I’ve roamed I’m finally home Bridge Maybe home ain’t a place on a map Maybe it’s the people who keep calling you back Through every mistake and every storm you’ve known Leaving a light on till you find your way home Final Chorus Now I’m finally home And the weight I’ve carried fades away Like the darkness giving in to day Every mile behind me was worth the road To find what I already know That love was waiting here all along After all these years, all these roads I’ve roamed Yeah, after all these years, all these roads I’ve roamed I’m finally home Outro Just a porch light glowing in the dusk And a grateful heart settling down at last Finally home
