Julie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I must have traveled this road a million times
It leads to a place I used to roam
And if I close my eyes I'm a child again
You never forget the place you used to call home
A sea of memories fill my mind
With visions of a past that I left behind
But I cherish those days they're a big part of me
Back in a time when life was more carefree
Back home to those hills of sand
Back home to the place I began
Back home where my soul can heal
From the weight of this world
Back home...
Grandma baking bread and the smell of coffee
Laundry blowing in the breeze out on the line
Grandpa sitting in the yard singing "You Are My Sunshine"
It was a different place back in a different time
Sometimes I wish I could go back again
Relive those days of my yesteryears
But life goes on and so must we
But I still miss those days
And those no longer here
Back home to those hills of sand
Back home to the place I began
Back home where my soul can heal
From the weight of this world
Back home
I know I shouldn't waste today
Thinkin' about the past
But I just can't help but think
That life moves way too fast
I'm grateful for where I am
But I cherish where where I've been
And the time keeps flying by
So we must treasure every moment in this life
Back home (Home yeah) to those hills of sand
Back home (Home yeah) to the place I began
Back home where my soul can heal




From the weight of this world
Back home

Line by Line Meaning

I must have traveled this road a million times
I have traversed this path innumerable times


It leads to a place I used to roam
This leads to a location that I once freely wandered


And if I close my eyes I'm a child again
By shutting my eyes, I transform into a kid once more


You never forget the place you used to call home
The place you previously referred to as home always remains ingrained within you


A sea of memories fill my mind
My brain is flooded with a plethora of recollections


With visions of a past that I left behind
Images of a previous time that I abandoned


But I cherish those days they're a big part of me
However, I value and hold onto those times since they comprise a significant aspect of me


Back in a time when life was more carefree
In an era when existence was more untroubled


Back home to those hills of sand
Returning to those sand hill terrain of my origin


Back home to the place I began
Returning to the initial location I began my life's journey


Back home where my soul can heal
Going back to where my essence can recover and rejuvenate


From the weight of this world
From the burden that life places upon me


Grandma baking bread and the smell of coffee
Grandmother kneading dough while coffee aroma permeates the air


Laundry blowing in the breeze out on the line
Clothing swaying outside on a clothesline in the breeze


Grandpa sitting in the yard singing "You Are My Sunshine"
Grandfather lounging in the yard humming "You Are My Sunshine"


It was a different place back in a different time
The location was distinctive in another era


Sometimes I wish I could go back again
At times, I crave revisiting the past


Relive those days of my yesteryears
Recollect those days from my youth


But life goes on and so must we
However, life persists and we must as well


But I still miss those days
But I still yearn for those times


And those no longer here
And those who are no longer around


I know I shouldn't waste today
I am aware that I shouldn't squander the present day


Thinkin' about the past
Mentally dwelling on the past


But I just can't help but think
However, I can't help but ruminate


That life moves way too fast
That existence moves by excessively quickly


I'm grateful for where I am
I appreciate my current situation


But I cherish where where I've been
Yet, I cherish where I previously ventured


And the time keeps flying by
And time constantly passes by


So we must treasure every moment in this life
Consequently we must appreciate every instant during our existence


Back home (Home yeah) to those hills of sand
Returning to my hometown, those sand hills I call home


Back home (Home yeah) to the place I began
Going back to my starting point where I commenced my journey


Back home where my soul can heal
Returning home to regenerate my essence


From the weight of this world
From the stress of everyday life


Back home
Returning to my hometown
