lyrics

I left Dallas with an attitude, not too sure who I was gonna be
The leaves turned in New England, and God painted seasons on the trees
Turned sixteen in a room alone with voices through a telephone 
Reminding me of what I left behind 

I counted down the days till I would see the smile on my sisters faces
But I started getting used to the cold air and the thick skin that it gave me
Oh the first time that I felt it, like a rowboat in the sea
So far from shore just hoping there was hope out there for me

I ain’t mad about it; there’s no way around it
We all grow up and the lucky ones they settle down real quick 
A chip up on my shoulder, I got roots all over
It’s tough to tell which way to go 
Oh I don’t know —which way’s home

From that corn field in the Delta to that shoebox on the upper east side 
The city hears my Texas charm my friends all hear a New York state of mind
Somehow along the way I found the one that didn’t mind those drives
From here to there and back again —she’s steady by my side

And I ain’t mad about it; there’s no way around it
We all grow up and the lucky ones they settle down real quick 
A chip up on my shoulder, I got roots all over
It’s tough to tell which way to go 
Oh I don’t know —which way’s home

If you ask me where I’m from, I’ll tell you where I’ve been
And a couple of those places keep me coming back again
But so do you…and you…and you…

I ain’t mad about it; there’s just no way around it
We all grow up and the lucky ones they settle down real quick 
A chip up on my shoulder, I got roots all over
Tough to tell which way to go
Oh I don’t know…
Oh I don’t know…
Which way’s home?
