It's Where We Are

It's Where We Are

A little girl riding bareback on that brown bay down by Brule Creek
Laying on a hay bale, watching as the fireflies float between the trees
She loved that place, where her family'd all been raised

Then the auctioneer came, the bank took the farm away
Her daddy found her cryin' behind the barn said I know you want to stay

Home isn't where we live it's where we are
The open skies of Texas or the plains of Wichita
Nothing else really matters as long as we're together
We won't let this tear us apart
Home isn't where we live it's where we are

There was a 3-bedroom light blue fixer-up with a waterfront view
He had painted that nursery 2 times since 1992
They'd watched both kids grow, made that house a home

Then the rains came and stayed, the river burst it's banks
He took his wife into his arms said I know we'll be ok... cause

Home isn't where we live it's where we are
The sands of Arizona, the streets of Philadelphia
Nothing else really matters as long as we're together
We won't let this tear us apart
Home isn't where we live it's where we are

They can take everything we own
Let the raging rivers flow
It ain't the money, the bricks,
Or the rooms built with sticks and stones

Home isn't where we live it's where we are
The coast of California or Fargo, North Dakota
Nothing else really matters as long as we're together
We won't let this tear us apart
Home isn't where we live it's where we are
