Gone, Then Home - Classic 70s Country

Описание: Gone, Then Home - Classic 70s Country
Verse 1
I left with pockets full of reasons
And a heart I couldn’t read
I thought the world was waiting on me
Just beyond what I could see

I traded roots for rolling tires
Traded truth for what felt right
Every mile I swore I needed
Pulled me further from my life

Pre-Chorus
I didn’t know what I was chasing
Till it slipped out of my hands

Chorus
I had to be gone to know what home was
Had to lose to understand
Every door I walked away from
Pointed me back where I began
Yeah, I had to be gone to know what home was
Some lessons don’t come cheap
Funny how the things you’re missing
Are the things that lead your feet

Verse 2
I’ve worn a thousand different faces
In rooms that didn’t care
I learned how silence can feel louder
When nobody knows you’re there

I kept moving like the answers
Lived somewhere down the line
But every night I felt the pull
Of a simpler state of mind

Pre-Chorus
Somewhere in the letting go
I started coming close

Chorus
Yeah, I had to be gone to know what home was
Had to break to finally bend
All the roads I thought were endings
Turned into a long way back again
Yeah, I had to be gone to know what home was
Turns out I was blind
Loss don’t just take things from you
Sometimes it shows you the sign

Bridge
Maybe home ain’t where you land
Maybe it’s what stays
When everything you held onto
Falls away

Final Chorus
I had to be gone to know what home was
Not a place, but a truth
It’s the voice that never leaves you
No matter what you do
Yeah, I had to be gone to know what home was
Now I see it plain and clear
Every wrong turn I ever took
Was pointing me right here

Outro
I slow it down, let the road unwind
Feel the weight finally gone
I didn’t lose myself out there
I just had to be gone…
To come home
