Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Old man in a downtown bar,
City boys braggin’ ’bout boats and cars.
One asks, “You got a place you go?”
He nods slow — “Yeah… a long time ago.”
[Pre-Chorus]
“Didn’t have docks or ocean views,
But I knew peace in worn-out shoes…”
[Chorus]
“Tide rollin’ in, screen door slammin’,
Her in the kitchen, barefoot dancin’.
Laughin’ like the world stood still,
Singin’ soft with the windows filled
With southern breeze and cicada buzz —
Home? Yeah, it was where she was.”
[Verse 2]
“She’s gone now, but I still roam,
Chasin’ sparks that feel like home.
Don’t need acres, don’t need keys —
Just somewhere her voice still speaks.”
[Pre-Chorus]
“Still hear it in the seagulls’ cry,
Feel her when the tides slip by…”
[Chorus]
“Tide rollin’ in, screen door slammin’,
Her in the kitchen, barefoot dancin’.
Laughin’ like the world stood still,
Hummin’ soft with the windows filled
With southern breeze and cicada buzz —
Home? Yeah, it was where she was.”
[Outro]
So when I go, that’s where I’ll be —
Where she was… waitin’ on me.
