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
Canvases 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
This will always be home
I 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
Canvases behind my eyes
All the colors of my life
This southern air is in my lungs
It's in every word I've sung
Seems the only truth I know
This will 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 salts on my skin
The future's coming on
And after living through these wild years
And coming out alive
I just want to lay my head here
And stop running for a while
This southern air is all I need
Breathe it in and I can see
Canvases behind my eyes
All the colors of my life
This southern air is in my lungs
It's in every word I've sung
Seems the only truth I know
This will always be home
Always be home
Always be home
(This will always be home)
This southern air is in my lungs
It's in every word I've sung
Seems the only truth I know
This will always be home
