Home Again
Taj Mahal & Sheryl Crow & Phil Alvin & Dave Alvin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

The whole world can tell your side, it just says so in your eyes
Sorry that you feel so sad but I think you'll be alright
You got many friends here to be by your side, we're all here to help you

Oh Oh Home Again, Aren't you glad to be home again?
Oh Oh Home again, you're amongst friends
Aren't you glad to be home again?
The world can make you weary and mean, just take a look outside
Some will try to buy your dreams and hide the truth with lies
Good fortune comes your way, they just stand back and Scream never wanted you here anyway

Oh Oh Home Again, Aren't you glad to be home again?
Oh Oh Home again, you're amongst friends
Aren't you glad to be home again?

Why don't you rest here awhile, let your anxiety subside
maybe walk around the town, you don't have to speak if you got nothing left to say, I will try to ease your pain
tomorrow's another day

Oh Oh Home Again, Aren't you glad to be home again?
Oh Oh Home again, you're amongst friends
Aren't you glad to be home again?





Oh Oh Home Again, Aren't you glad to be home again?
Oh Oh Home Again, Aren't you glad to be home again?

The focus on tomorrow being "another day" offers a message of hope and resilience.

It sounds a little like Australia's Tiffany Eckhardt and David Steele in style and harmony.
