[Verse 1]
The first verse begins, first meet Lynn
Let me start by telling you where she's been
Big sky country, the landscape opens it
The town's so small you drive by and don't notice it
The oldest kid, and her family is poor
She'd sneak into her parents' room for candy to score
But for the whole next week her hands would be sore
Because daddy would catch her
And he'd slam her hands in the drawer
There was a huge park where all the kids played
That got sold when she was in the 5th grade
They tore it down to dig for gold and get paid
That's where the Berkeley Pit stay; it's still there to this day
With a quick pace tendency
She used to deal with pain, but she's lost her remedy
She remembers when her Mom taught her recipes
The rest escaped her long term memory, she forgot everything
[Hook]
That's life, it all has a message
Keep it all in perspective, it could be gone in a second
Sometimes I don't wanna accept it…
Home is where the heart is
So where is your sense of direction, huh?
Remember to go back, I promised to go back
Remember to go back, I said I would go back…
Home is where the heart is
So where is your sense of direction, huh?
Go back, remember to go back…
[Verse 2]
Back to Lynn, but now the story has a spin
I'ma tell you about her friends
She loved Robby and the stunts he would do
He hit a tree on his bike and split the front piece in two
Ignoring his cuts, he had enough things to do
He died two weeks later of untreated wounds
The next week his brother went into the gun store
Bought a .357 and shot himself on his front porch
The parents lost two precious sons
But there's a third, and the worst has yet to come
Because while his parents were sleeping in bed
Their youngest son used an axe handle to beat 'em to death
Now, I know, you thinking this town is cursed
But my song's about Lynn and what surrounded her
She's a special girl, but too alone to know it
Home is where the heart is, but her home was always broken
[Hook]
[Outro]
They say "home is where the heart is"
What if your home is broken?
What if your heart is broken?!
I can't even write a third verse to this
(I don't even know the end of this one)
Hasn't happened yet… Whattup, Sape?
