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
