Finally Home

Intro

(oh-oh, oh-oh)

Verse

I drove that yellow bus down the old dirt road

You were just a kid with a backpack, head low

I was too old, you were too young, we didn’t know

Life kept us moving, never let it show

Years rolled by like tires on the same old street

Your mama started working right beside my feet

Best friends by accident, laughing through the heat

Still didn’t see you coming, still didn’t meet

Chorus

We built the same walls, we walked the same sand

You slept where I stood in that faraway land

Passed like two shadows, never reaching a hand

Then Colorado snow brought you to me again

Oh-oh, oh-oh, finally home

Verse

National Guard called, I answered the line

Built that base in ’04 under burning sky

You lived in those walls in ’08, passing time

Two ships in the dark, never crossing the line

Vacation for my boy, snow and birthday cake

Drove up to the mountains, just a quick escape

There you were laughing, like it was all fate

One look and the years just fell away

Chorus

We built the same walls, we walked the same sand

You slept where I stood in that faraway land

Passed like two shadows, never reaching a hand

Then Colorado snow brought you to me again

Oh-oh, oh-oh, finally home

Bridge

Two weeks later you were packing up your life

Oregon mornings, you and me side by side

All those missed moments finally aligned

Chorus

We built the same walls, we walked the same sand

You slept where I stood in that faraway land

Passed like two shadows, never reaching a hand

Then Colorado snow brought you to me again

Oh-oh, oh-oh, finally home
