There an d back I've traveled,
here and there I have walked
And I've found more beauty
than I ever would have thought
But I still dream often of
that place I know
Deeper in my bones than
most places ever go
I can see home shining
like a silver star
Like paradise calling me from far,
so far
When I shake my eyes, I can just make it out
A long dirt road, a faithful dog,
and an old white house
A long dirt road, a faithful dog,
and an old white house
I've survived all the bustle,
but I still like the light
And I have stayed up and wandered
at countless shining nights
But no matter where I go, I find there I am
Hear the same old stranger in
an even stranger land
I can see a home shining like a silver star
Like paradise calling me from far,
so far
When I shake my eyes,
I can just make it out
Along a dirt road,
a fateful dog and an old blood house
A long dirt road,
a fateful dog and an old white house
Yesterday's are many and tomor
row's filled with doubt
And I still don't know what this
whole darn thing is about
But you are what you are and
it's better to find out
What it is that you love most of all
I have often hungered for
the way you feel
And the smell of summer thunder
and the quiet winter fields
I have walked with madness
and laid down with lies
And I've learned how to stand but better yet
to fly
I have loved so many things
in this great wide world
But the simple sounds of home are
the sweetest things I've heard
For right here the means are humble,
but hearts are proud
And I don't mind standing up
and saying right out loud
That I can see home shining
like a silver star
Like paradise calling
me from oh so far
When I shut my eyes, I can just make it out
A long dirt road,
a faithful dog and an old white house
A long dirt road, a faithful dog and
an old white house
you
