I've watched the world go by Outside a window I still can't believe where I am now It's been forever long Adventures come and gone And I'm left alone but not let down 'Cause I have found a gravity A voice that pulls me to my knees Telling me "remember where you're from" This southern air is all I need Breathe it in and I can see Canvasses behind my eyes All the colors of my life This southern air is in my lungs It's in every word I've sung It seems the only truth I know Is we'll always be home I've thought about the day When I could truly say I'm better now Well here I am 'Cause I have left this gravity Grab a hold and carry me And I will not forget where I am from Forget where I am from This southern air is all I need Breathe it in and I can see Canvasses behind my eyes All the colors of my life This southern air is in my lungs It's in every word I've sung It seems the only truth I know Is we'll always be home Always be home, always be home The sun lays down inside the ocean I'm right where I belong Feel the air, the salt on my skin The future's coming on And after living through these wild years I'm coming out alive I just wanna lay my head here And stop running for a while This southern air is all I need Breathe it in and I can see Canvasses behind my eyes All the colors of my life This southern air is in my lungs It's in every word I've sung It seems the only truth I know Is we'll always be home Always be home, always be home This southern air is in my lungs It's in every word I've sung It seems the only truth I know Is we'll always be home Always be home, always be home
