Homesick son

somewhere out west you might find
someone better than I am
if I ever leave your mind
you’ve been gone too long

my homesick son

in a land of greyhound dreams
you must grab it while you can, where
nothing’s ever what it seems
are you that strong

my homesick son?

{la-la-la-la-la}
and the ciphers you meet
on the roads and on rails
{la-la-la-la-la...}
and the traces of love
in the clues and the trails, oh-wah

even in your best disguise
I can tell there’s something wrong, but
hell is other peoples’ lives
you’ve known all along

my homesick son


yeah-yeah
yeah-yeah
mmm-mmm

{la-la-la-la-la}
and the ciphers you meet
on the roads and on rails
{la-la-la-la-la...}
and the traces of love
and the clues and the trails, oh-wah

somewhere out west you might find
someone better than I am
if I ever leave your mind
you’ve been gone too long

my homesick son

you’ve been gone too long

my homesick son
oh-yeah
ah-ah
