Home Pfingsten, Matt Kats & Dogs Five miles off the ground, listenin' to the sound Of those jet engines pushin' me from California to JFK The sun's early mornin' light hits the steam off my coffee just right I look down at those little squares of farmland startin' their day Somewhere down there my friends are doin' those things I miss about them Will's makin' calls & KC's hangin' the We're Open sign in his old man's store Gina's oversleeping, Kate's out in the stable sweepin' Dave's blastin' Zepplin in his busted up Ford with a coffee pot on the floor And I can't help but wonder, did I choose right Leavin' all that behind to try my luck out on the coast Cause still I'm feelin' often that I'm caught in the middle Between where I'm at and that place I miss the most Place I miss the most Home Sometimes getting's lost is what I need to find my way Home The city lights are pretty but they're just so far away 2 AM return flight, red-eye took off at midnight Flight attendant dims the lights and all the passengers dream away It's dark down there but I know one of those lights that still glows Is that old house full of people I love spinning stories about their days Do they know I'm up here, far away but my heart's still near I can almost hear the laughter from that screened-in porch out by the lake Man I wish that I could watch fireflies dance in those old woods I bet that ol'rope swing still hangs in the tree we were so afraid would break And I can't help but wonder, did I choose right Leavin' all that behind to try my luck out on the coast Cause still I'm feelin' often that I'm caught in the middle Between where I'm at and that place I miss the most Place I miss the most Home Sometimes getting lost is what I need to find my way Home The city lights are pretty but they're just so far away It's funny how as time goes by the things that matter most get crystal clear Whatever I was looking for has always been right here Home Sometimes getting lost is what I need to find my way Home The city lights are pretty but they're just so far away Home Sometimes getting lost is what I need to find my way Home The city lights are pretty but they're just so far away
