"Washington" lyrics

There ain't nowhere that I go
That ever really feels much like home
My daddy's from Chicago
But he raised me in Washington

I grew up in the old-growth
Brought up to the Great Northwest
And next to the Pacific
Is where I rest my head

I bought myself an old Ford
And drove it on the mountain roads
My mama was from Dublin
And we always had good whiskey at home

Back home, back home
Where the mountains meet the sea
There's only one place that I'm from
I'm gonna get there, running
Back home, back home
In the land of the tall trees
There's only one place that I'm from
Out of Washington
Out of Washington

And grandpa had an old boat
We used to take it out sometimes
Came back and made a fire
On the beach at night
I knew all of them back roads
Could drive them without my headlights
Now I catch myself dreaming
And it's home I see

Back home, back home
Where the mountains meet the sea
There's only one place that I'm from
I'm gonna get there, running
Back home, back home
In the land of the tall trees
There's only one place that I'm from
Out of Washington

And I've been running wild now
On the land I cannot stay
When I stare into the fire
Always home I see
Back home, back home
In the land with the tall trees
There's only one place that I'm from
Out of Washington
