Lyrics
Happy to be home
Happy to be home
A summer evening, I walk past the windows
The baby crying and someone's cooking dinner
There's laughter on the TV
And someone's learning the violin
How that home appeals
At times like this I feel
That I would like to live like anybody else
(In one place) In one place
And I could be happy and fulfilled
(In one place) In one place
So I get the map out (Get the map out)
And draw a line of where we've been
(Goes through sea and sky)
And it goes through sea and sky
Twenty-five planes this year
And it's only July
This is not some bible like "On The Road"
It's just a song about coming home
And whether
I could like to live like anybody else
(In one place) In one place
And I could be happy and fulfilled
(In one place) In one place
And you know that I have found
I'm happiest weaving from town to town
You know Bruce said we should keep moving 'round
Maybe we all get too tied down, I don't know
Yeah, I don't know
Happy to be home (Still I'm)
Happy to be home (Alright)
In the end, if you take care
You can be happy or unhappy anywhere
I think we maybe all rely too much
(On one place) On one place
Though I never would deny the need
(For one place) For one place
I think we may all rely too much, baby
On one place
Though I know I never would deny the need
(For one place) For one place
One place (One place)
One place (One place)
Yeah (Yeah)
It goes through sea and sky
(Goes through sea and sky)
One place
Oh, one place
Happy to be home
Yeah, yeah
Goes through sea and sky, uh huh
Happy to be home
One place (One place)
One place
Happy to be home
Goes through sea and sky
Happy to be home
(Goes through sea and sky)
Come on, get the map out
Come on, get the map out
Happy to be home
Happy to be home
Happy to be home
