There and Back Lyrics

There and back I've traveled,
Here and there I've walked,
And I've found more beauty then I every would have thought.
But I still dream often of that place I know,
deeper in my bones then most places ever go,
(Chorus)
I can see home shinin like silver star,
and like paradise callin me form oh so far,
when i shape my eyes, I can just make it out,
a long dirt road,
a faithful dog,
and an old white house,
a long dirt road,
a faithful dog,
and an old white house.

I've survived all the bustle but I still like the lights,
and I've stared up in wonder at countless shining nights, but no matter where I go, or where I am, you're the same old stranger in an even stranger land.
(Chorus)
I can see home shinin like silver star,
and like paradise callin me form oh so far,
when i shape my eyes, I can just make it out,
a long dirt road,
a faithful dog,
and an old white house,
a long dirt road,
a faithful dog,
and an old white house.

Yesterdays are many,
and tomorrows filled with doubt,
and I still don't know what this whole darn thing is about,
but you are what you are and it's better to find out,
what it is that you love,
most of all.
I have often hungered for the way you feel,
and the smell of summer thunder and the quiet winter fields,
I have walked with the madness and layed down with the lies,
I've learned how to stand up, better yet to fly.

I have loved so many things,
in this great wide world,
but the simple sounds of home are,
the sweetes things I have heard,
for right here the means are humble,
and hearts are proud,
and I don't mind standin up and sayin right out loud,
(Chorus)
I can see home shinin like silver star,
and like paradise callin me form oh so far,
when i shape my eyes, I can just make it out,
a long dirt road,
a faithful dog,
and an old white house,
a long dirt road,
a faithful dog,
and an old white house.
