This Used To Be My Home

Track #9

from the album Sunrise

2:55

A relatable, folksy song featuring a harmonica solo that describes the feelings and thoughts one experiences when revisiting a place where they used to reside, including both nostalgia and being uncomfortable that you don't belong there anymore.

"This Used To Be My Home"

Written by Scott Cooley

This used to be my home

Now it's no longer a place I can go

Someone else lives here now

All I can do is drive by and say wow

This used to be my home

This yard is where I used to roam

I know the bricks and the trees and the ground

I can roll down the window and listen to the sounds

This used to be my home

I grew up, and I moved away

The family we all went our separate ways

Memories are flooding my brain

Putting myself through this is so strange

I could buy it back, but it wouldn't be the same

Home is where you make it, or so they say

This used to be my home

So many years ago

I can stop and look but not for long

Don't know the neighbors anymore, but it just feels wrong

This used to be my home
