Now it’s become very clear
Each to their homeland dear
While I didn’t really belong
Folks brought me into their song.
Old souls settled in everywhere.
Unique brand of caring and dare.
Nowhere have I felt more embraced.
Dear hearts are so open faced.
Life can be bitterly tough.
Air bites clean through true enough.
None of them are happy to leave.
Down home is what they believe.
