Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Make our furthest horizon the end of the street
That's how we make it our home
Look in the eyes of the people we meet
That's how we make it our home
We thank the Lord before we break bread
That's how we make it our home
We never forget the names of our dead
That's how we make it our home
[PreChorus]
Batten the hatches when the cold wind blows
Save some for tomorrow cause you never can know
When the hard times are coming to push you down low
You're only as good as the people you know
[Chorus]
Harvest the honey and string up the beans
That's how we make it our home
Do it by hand and screw the machines
That's how we make it our home
Pull down the fences and pull up a chair
That's how we make it our home
Nobody's perfect and nobody cares
That's how we make it our home
[PreChorus]
Stare at the sunset and not at the wall
Winter and spring and summer and fall
Answer the door when your friends come to call
There's not that much to it, no real work at all
Hey
[Chorus]
Leggo my ego and embrace my id
That's how we make it our home
Pocket wolves and pickups and just the right kid
That's how we make it our home
Well, we got the power, and it's all off the grid
That's how we make it our home
[Outro]
That's how we make it our home
