Home Is Somewhere North

Lyrics

Verse 1

Stopped for coffee just past Tulsa
Lady asked me where I'm from
I looked out toward the highway
And laughed a little as it come

Said, "I've crossed a dozen county lines
Since the break of dawn today."
She smiled and filled my coffee
Said, "Well, where you headed anyway?"

Chorus

Home is somewhere north
Past another winding road
Past a hundred little towns
And miles I haven't drove

I ain't lost, I'm just living
Every mile the good Lord gives
Home is somewhere north...
But right here's where I live

Verse 2

Saw a river in Oklahoma
Watched the sunset in the plains
Found a little roadside diner
Where they knew everybody's name

Every stop's another story
Every turn's another friend
Funny how the road keeps growing
Every time you think it ends

Chorus

Home is somewhere north
Past another winding road
Past a hundred little towns
And miles I haven't drove

I ain't lost, I'm just living
Every mile the good Lord gives
Home is somewhere north...
But right here's where I live

Bridge

Tomorrow I'll keep rolling
Toward familiar fence-line views
But there's beauty in the places
You never planned to choose

The road don't pull me from home
It reminds me why I go

Final Chorus

Home is somewhere north
Waiting just beyond the bend
But there ain't no hurry getting there
I've got time to spend

Every sunrise through this windshield
Every handshake on the way
Makes me thankful for the road
That leads me home someday

Home is somewhere north...
And I know I'll get there soon

Till then, this old highway
Feels like home too.
