Home Less

Since the day that guitar train grabbed me from the station
I’ve been steady trying to find me through honky-tonk salvation
It’s been a long, lonesome year of relocation
But this is what I asked for, so I ain’t complaining
I saw the Rocky Mountains silhouette a midnight sky
And drank a cup of coffee with an eastern sunrise
I did some window thinking through all-day long drives
And I drove myself crazy ’cause I kept asking why

I can’t just be happy with where I’m at
My head’s in the clouds, and my heart’s in the past
It’s like I’ve been living with no address
I love that I’m seeing more, but hate that I’m coming home less

And I guess fear of missing out is all it is
My friends are getting married, yeah, some are having kids
And I wish that I could see ’em face to face, not through a phone
But sometimes you gotta give and take when you’re chasing down a song

I can’t just be happy with where I’m at
My head’s in the clouds, and my heart’s in the past
It’s like I’ve been living with no address
I love that I’m seeing more, but hate that I’m coming home
Less and less, less and less, less and less, but that’s okay
I soak it up, take it in, I’ll make it last ’cause some day
There’ll come a point I’m looking back on this running ’round
When I’m settled down, in my hometown
I can just see it now

Maybe then I’ll be happy with where I am
My head’ll be level, and my heart content
I’ll finally be living with an address
Couple kids and the girl I love, but until then

I can’t just be happy with where I’m at
My head’s in the clouds, and my heart’s in the past
It’s like I’ve been living with no address
I love that I’m seeing more, but hate that I’m coming home
Less and less, less and less, less and less, but that’s okay
I soak it up, take it in, I’ll make it last ’cause some day
There’ll come a point I’m settled down in my hometown
Damn right I love that I’m seeing more, but I hate that I’m coming home less

Hate that I’m coming home less
Hate that I’m coming home less
Mmm, I hate that I’m coming home less
