There’s No Place Like Home - Dave Brubeck

Couldn't wait for Friday, 3 p.m. You picked me up, we were gone again Truck tires on a dirt road Kentucky hills out the window Didn't stop till we got to Wilson Farm We were kings and queens, the world was ours Running wild through the wheat fields Thinking this is how free feels Laughing as we go There's no place like home Up to high point mountain we would climb You'd tell me your dreams, I'd tell you mine Wonder if you ever knew How much I was looking up to you You played me all your favorite songs Why you let your little sister tag along I'll never know but I'm glad you did I wish we were still those kids Laughing as we go home There's no place like home The trouble with time is it won't slow down How I wish it would The trouble with earth is I can't bring you back God, I wish I could But I look up at the stars When I'm missing you the most And this aching in my heart is what reminds me There's no place like home I still take the same old Friday drive Pretend you're right there by my side And climb high point mountain without you But it ain't the same without you Preacher talks about a better place Where all our tears will be wiped away A healing for this brokenness No more longing for the ones we miss But you already know There's no place like home Trouble with time is it won't slow down How I wish it would The trouble with earth is I can't bring you back God, I wish I could But I look up at the stars When I'm missing you the most And this aching in my heart is what reminds me There's no place like home Oh, there's no place like home I stopped by to talk to you today And touch the stone where you were laid Right next to grandpa's barn But I know that's not where you are It fills my heart with hope There's no place like home Oh, there's no place like home There's no place like home

It's been a long time on the road Without a soul to call my own I'm tired of talking to the cards I miss the flowers in the yard There's no place like Home No place like home There's no place I'd rather be Than home I'm gonna move out of the street Stack some stones maybe grow some wheat Build a fire for a little heat Have someone curl up at my feet There's no place like home No place like home There's no place I'd rather be than home Mmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmm I wanna hang up some Pretty things From my suitcase full of dreams Maybe a letter or an old post card Or that paper star stole from a jar There's no place like home No place like home There's no place I'd rather be Than home The sweetest words I ever heard is "Welcome home" It's been a long and dusty road There's a place that's meant for us Full of faith Hope Love and trust I'll keep trudging up the road But someday I'll be going home There's no place like home No place like home There's no place I'd rather be than home Home, home, home Mmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmm Home

When I wake up in my house I get dressed then I get lost I don't know which way to go I guess I'll have a cup of joe Where the hell was I, anyways? So I end up on the street Walkin', talkin' to my own beat In a fog, and in a haze I've been trippin' out for days Can you help me find my way home? 1-2-3 Don't rock the boat now, just let it slide Groovy people walking back and forth, that's right So I hop on to this bus Destination reads "Please save us" Not a soul that I know To be found in this dark hole Can you help me find my way home? Can you help me find my way home? I'm so tired (I'm so tired) Of looking for the door Please help me find my way (I'm so tired) Please help me find my way (I'm so tired) I can't find the door Where am I now, where am I now? I find myself just out there, floating I find myself just out there, floating I find myself just out there, floating Where am I now, where am I now? I find myself just out there, floating

Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those peepers? Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those eyes? Gosh, all git up, how'd they get so lit up? Gosh, all git up, how'd they get that size? Golly gee, when you turn those heaters on Woe is me, I gotta put my cheaters on Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those peepers? Oh, those weepers, how they hypnotize Where did you get those eyes? Golly gee, when you turn those heaters on Woe is me, gotta put my cheaters on Jeepers creepers, where did you get those peepers? Oh, those weepers, how they hypnotize Where did you get those eyes?
