Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And tumbling
And crumbling down,
They keep on running me
And running me
Right into the ground
Can someone tell me please
Tell me please
Because I got to know
I got to know
I got to know now
Some say that life is a journey
So haters on the side lines don't concern me
They wanna burn me but they never will
I'm a loaded xpistol yes I shoot to kill
Places my boots and I get the steppin
Walk with respect to the roughin section
My secret weapon is love and compassion
Pack the peace pipe I just keep on laughing
I got places to go
I got people to see
Evil forces that are following me
I show no fear and I never look back
Cause home sweet home is where my heart is at
When the song comes to an end
Were going back to where it begin
I'm going back home
Yeah
Sittin down
Fire on a saturday night
Walkin up to the people driving by
Now that's back home
Now
I know whatcha thinkin
But you might be wrong
This ain't just another
Chance to make a P-Town song
They say your home is where
You hang your heart and that's true
But it's also havin friends and family next to you
It's not were you grew up shit it could be were you at now
I'm only saying
Think about it yours
Your hometown

Placentia is kinda easy cause
Both of my parents stilllive in placentia city
When the song comes to an end
Were going back to where it begin
I'm going back home

Fire on a saturday night
Walkin up to the people driving by
Now that's back home
Maybe we'll fly
Beyond the blue horizon
Maybe in time
This will all go away
All go away

Where ever green trees
Ten stories tall
And I know they will never ever
Try shot me back

And hit the road

However, it's time for me to depart
It's nothin like the northwest but kali is all I see
Although it's not quite like the Pacific Northwest, I see California as my new home now

And I hit the 97
Now I'm driving along Route 97
