Topic: The Only Place that Ever Felt Like Home
My friend, Selso Martinez, posted a picture on Facebook with the caption, "Only place that ever felt like home." I decided to turn it into the song below. https://soundcloud.com/jets60/the-only- … -like-home
The Only place that ever felt like home Jeff Gilpin
Intro strumming Em
~
[Em]Breeze in trees at the [C]end of the day
[Am7]Cooling off the warmth of the [D]sun
[G]Takes me back to that [C]place I [G]left
[D]Way back when life had just be[Em]gun. [D]
~
[Em] Didn’t know how good I [C] had it then,
[Am7]Let me tell you, I had it [D]good.
[G]Didn’t worry a[C]bout a [G]thing
I [D]had that life thing under[Em]stood. [Em7]
~
The [C]world was just waiting [G]on me.
[D]Felt it calling me to [G]roam.
So, [C]I left the mountains [G]where I was born,
The [D]only place that ever felt like [Em]home.
~
[Em]Set in my mind to [C]go see the world
[Am7] Waved goodbye to my native [D]shore.
[G]Took in the sites of [C]far-off [G]places,
[D]Not caring what was in [Em]store. [D]
~
[Em]Came back, but never really [C]made it home.
[Am7]Decided I wasn’t going to [D]stay.
[G]Off to the other far [C]end of the [G]world,
[D]I’d head home another [Em]day. [Em7]
~
The [C]world was just [G]baiting me,
While [D]I continued my [G]roam.
[C]Thought about mountains from [G]time to time.
The [D]only place that ever felt like [Em]home. [Em7]
~
Well, [D]I’ve been back a [G]few times since,
Heard [D]echoes from back in the [G]day.
I thought, [D]“Wasn’t it great how it [G]was back then?
Those [C]times, that are gone to [D]stay." [D7]
~
I [Em]think about it a [C]lot these days,
With [Am7]all my time travelling a[D]round.
[G]Got to see the wonders [C]of the [G]world,
But [D]lost that sleepy old [Em]town. [D]
~
I [Em]might just go back to [C]live one day,
Or [Am7]might leave that one a[D]lone.
It’ll [G]never be as good as it [C]was back [G]then,
The [D]only place that ever felt like [Em]home. [Em7]
~
Yes, the [C]world played a trick [G]on me,
[D]Coaxed me, started my [G]roam.
[C]My roaming days can’t [G]lead me back to
The [D]only place that ever felt like [Em]home.
