Homesick
Charlene Nash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Clipped to my dashboard
Anything that I ask Lord
I find in you
Never going too fast 4
Anything that you have for
Me, I know that you have more
Life with you
Struggle won't be something that I know
I know, I know
I'll never be alone
Nothing is the same way
Not doing the same thing
I know, I know
Can I make it simple and quick?
I'm here getting homesick
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
It just matters where we're going
Not were we're from
Cause we spend all our time being like the Son
And we never run out of you time
Cause with you it's this endless ride
And when things are not looking better
Cause all I feel c is old weather
Down here I need a sweater
'Till I get to be with my treasure
I know, I know
I'll never be alone
Nothing is the same way
Not doing the same thing
I know, I know
Can I make it simple and quick?
I'm here getting homesick
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
So I wait
Until my work here is done, I'll never wanna run
I'll wait x2
For that long list of "no more"s
He stand by the front door
And I'm right by, on the right side
I know, I know
I'll never be alone
Nothing is the same way
Not doing the same thing
I know, I know
Can I make it simple and quick?
I'm here getting homesick
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
Thinking about it
The lyrics to Charlene Nash's song 'Homesick' speaks to the longing for a spiritual home and the struggle to find contentment in the present. The first stanza describes the writer's faith in God - they have letters clipped to their dashboard, which they interpret as a sign that they can find anything they want through their faith. The writer is content with the path their life is taking, knowing that it is guided by a higher power. They believe that with faith, their life is "painted in gold," and they won't struggle.
The chorus repeats twice, featuring the lines, "I know, I know / I'll never be alone/ Nothing is the same way / Not doing the same thing / I know, I know / Can I make it simple and quick? / I'm here getting homesick / Thinking about it." This seems to be the core message of the song as the writer is content with the way things are now, but still "homesick," longing for a place of comfort and belonging. In the final stanza, Charlene Nash expresses that they will continue to wait for their spiritual home and are content to keep working and doing what they need to do until that day arrives.

Yeah, Ridin' round with your letters

Clipped to my dashboard

Anything that I ask the Lord

Thinking about it
I'm thinking about it
It just matters where we're going
Our destination is what matters
Not were we're from
Not where we are coming from
Cause we spend all our time being like the Son
Because we try to be like the Son of God
And we never run out of you time
We never run out of time with you
Cause with you it's this endless ride
Because with God, it's an endless journey
And when things are not looking better
When things are bad
Cause all I feel c is old weather
All I feel is cold weather
Down here I need a sweater
I need a sweater down here
'Till I get to be with my treasure
Until I get to be with my treasure
So I wait
So I'll wait
Until my work here is done, I'll never wanna run
I won't run until my work here is done
For that long list of "no more"s
For the list of things that don't matter anymore
He stand by the front door
He stands by the front door
And I'm right by, on the right side
And I'm on his right side
