Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Its been a long time comin ive been runnin it seems
That things change rearrange but this isn't a dream,
Ive grown yeah ive shown that I can succeed,
so home here I come, here I come

The kootenay's breeze makes me freeze just for a second,
So take a step back deep gasp, man this is heaven,
You know this picture perfect harmony, no one here is harming me,
So make way lonely open road im comin home with alarming speed

Get away from the city, away from the lights,
Get Away from the clubs, away from the fights
A way to escape all the hate that we make when were never
Getting better cause its all just take

So Im gonna give it back to you, kootenay kids this raps for you,
Rappers do, what rappers do but im gonna choose to act like you
Drinkin booze with an attitude, take a toke then I pass to you,
Lovin life cause it's the best, in this place my soul's at rest,

This is my home, its where I roam
this is the place that I was raised, its where Im from
and you can never turn the page, its where im stuck
forever here cant get, get get enough...

This is my home, its where I roam
this is the place that I was raised, its where Im from
and you can never turn the page, its where im stuck

forever here cant get, get get enough...

I got a smile on my face with a beer in my hand
Sitting on a mountain top with my friends thinking damn

This is gods country man, and it's the place that I was raised
And if life was a book you know id never turn the page
Im feeling homesick I miss my dogs I miss my fam
I miss the country roads yea and I know u understand

Everytime i return i take a sigh and just relax
Ahhh this is my home im back on track
This is my path this is my route this is my stage
And Theres an animal in me that really wants out of the cage
Cuz I never feel free unless my feet firmly planted

on a mountainside looking down from an eye of granite
yea yea you can call me corny and uh that might just be
but then maybe you've never been to the heart of the
kootenays

no maybe you've never seen the peaks valley's or lakes
so maybe you wouldn't know how that atmosphere tastes
Back on the road gonna be there soon to my
home town, my home town,
Back on the road gonna be there soon to my
home town, my home town
This is my home, its where I roam
this is the place that I was raised, its where Im from
and you can never turn the page, its where im stuck
forever here cant get, get get enough...

This is my home, its where I roam
this is the place that I was raised, its where Im from
and you can never turn the page, its where im stuck
forever here cant get, get get enough...

This is my home, its where I roam
this is the place that I was raised, its where Im from
and you can never turn the page, its where im stuck
forever here cant get, get get enough...

This is my home, its where I roam
this is the place that I was raised, its where Im from




and you can never turn the page, its where im stuck
forever here cant get, get get enough...
