Verse 1 |Sitting on the west coast of Ireland | looking out onto the ocean| |Knowing youre looking straight on back| feeling that same wave of motion| |Take my sweatshirt off| and my t-shirt as usual| |Kiss the sand I got some water in my mouth| man its hard being spiritual.| Chorus |And the sun shines right on down| to the core of my bones| |And as much as I know Im far away| I know Im going home| Verse 2 |Could see myself flying in| to Minneapolis international| |See my folks and my brother and my sister| and the smell of the dog on their clothes| |When I get home Im gonna lay right down| to the cool April sun| |Gonna lay in the grass till I start itching and Id find| probably move along a few times| Chorus |And the sun shines right on down| to the core of my bones| |And as much as I know Im far away| I know Im going home.| Verse 3 |I can get out to California| I had San Francisco on my mind| |I could get down to New Orleans| and have that music knock me to the ground| |Im gonna stay here| and watch another Wisconsin sun go down| |And have dinner with my parents| and head on in to my small small enough town| Chorus |And the sun shines right on down| to the core of my bones| |And as much as I know Im far away| I know Im going home.| Verse 4 |And one day were all gonna be a pile of bones| yeah thats what were all gonna be| |But Ill still be smiling I guarantee| as long as they dont bury me| |I wanna be up and I wanna be able to feel the air| and be where the river meets the sea| |Where the sky meets the ocean and where space meets the sky| Ill be singing all of us free| |All of us free| Chorus: |And the sun shines right on down| to the core of my bones| |And as much as I know Im far away| I know Im going home.| |I know Im going home| |I know Im going home| |I know Im going home|
