Back Home Again - Greg Brown

Sunrise in Seattle-a whiter shade of pale-

Caught a flight to Salt Lake City

And-guess what-it was late

Bumped into Denver in the afternoon

And into C.R. by ten

Hoping you would meet me at the gate-

Mmmhmm-son of the restless wind

I’m back home again-

Airport rent-a-car motel nightclubs

Restaurant motel

Rent-a-car back to the airport

Have a nice day

I hope I’ll be done traveling

Before it’s time to go again

I never unpack my suitcase all the way-

When it all is said and done

Some more is said and done

They tell you you got to keep reaching

But they never say what for

Do we ever really live

The life we want to live

I put the keys in my pocket, grab my stuff

And walk up to our front door-

Mmmhmm-honey, are you still my friend

I’m back home again
