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.
