lyrics

"It's A Straight Road Home From Here" by Jakubowski

There’s a lightning storm over the mountain
As the wheels soldier on to the final turn
In science of sleep I have been here a hundred times before
And everything left behind me burns, burns, burns

Through every torrid river flow
And thicket I must go
It’s a straight, straight road home from here
And when the morning comes around
I’ll be on solid ground
It’s a straight, straight road home from here

When I was I boy the world made sense
In the garden down at the foot of hill
But somewhere on my way over the fence
A twist of fate came in for the kill, kill, kill

From every faded memory
That holds part of the key
It’s a straight, straight road home from here
From every trodden blade of grass
That fell along the path
It’s a straight, straight road home from here

After every single lesson learned
And every bridge that burned
It’s a straight, straight road home from here
After every sight that met my eyes
And every last goodbye
It’s a straight, straight road home from here
