Back Again
Mr. Cheeks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have to go out on the road my tour it starts today
I have to earn some money there are many bills to pay
I know for sure that when I'm gone I'll feel so all-alone
And I'm always longing in my heart
For the day I'll come back home

I drive in an old borrowed van and hope it won't break down
Hope that I can use it for going from town to town
And though I'm tryin' to please myself with sunshine snow or rain
I'm always longing for the day
I'll be coming home again

I open the motel room door and make a step inside
I feel so sad and lonely that I wanna try to hide
My guitar is my only friend I take it in my arm
But all the songs I try to sing
They tell of pain and harm

The show it starts at nine o'clock I try to do my best
And afterwards I go to bed and try to get some rest
But I can't sleep I'm thinkin' and I'm tryin' to ease the pain
I'm always longing for the day
I'll be coming home again

One day I'll be back home again and there I'm goin' to stay
And for no money in this world I'd ever go away
But in my memory I can hear the ringing of a tone
That I'm always longing in my heart
For the day I'll come back home




I'm always longing in my heart
For the day I'll come back home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mr. Cheeks' song "Back Again" narrate the struggles of a musician who has to leave home for a tour, driving an old borrowed van as he travels from town to town while facing the challenges of loneliness, exhaustion, and missing his loved ones. Despite his attempts to keep himself busy by singing about sunshine, snow, or rain, he feels a constant longing for the day he will return home. At night, after performing and trying to sleep, he finds solace in his guitar, but the songs he plays tell of pain and harm, reflecting how difficult the life of a touring musician can be. However, the end of the song brings a glimmer of hope as the singer declares that one day, he will come back home and never leave again.


The lyrics of "Back Again" are relatable to many people who have to leave their homes behind for work or other reasons, and they convey a sense of yearning and nostalgia that strikes a chord with listeners. The song's slow tempo, acoustic guitar, and Mr. Cheeks' gentle voice create a mood of melancholy and introspection that matches the lyrics' themes. By telling the story of a musician's life on the road, "Back Again" also sheds light on a less glamorous side of the music industry that is often overlooked.
