15 Mile Radius

There's a fifteen mile radius in the city I call home
Where the family style is born and raised and salvation surely roams
You can hear the church bells ringing hallelujah to the king
As the hanger near the diner door is draped with suffering
Yeah the hanger near the diner door is caked with suffering
Oh, come back home to me

Oh time and time again I'll find through the iridescent light
That my time spent here was surely dear when I'm restless now at night
For the days and weeks seem endless when I'm doing what I love
And the sweet aroma fills my head with praises from above
Yeah the sweet aroma fills my head with ideas from above
Oh, come back home to me

So I look for inspiration in my simple interactions
Not the petty shallow foolishness that brings me satisfaction
For as I write this melody the gears in my head turn
Thinking bout the people who have taught me all I've learned
Thanking all the people who have taught me all I've learned
Oh, come back home to me

Lord can you help me please to find my righteous call
For the steps that I have taken have now led me up a wall
Let me toast to my successes and let me weep for all I've lost
Because the feelings of belonging here are surely worth the cost
Yeah the feelings of belonging here are surely worth the cost
Oh, come back home to me

That fifteen mile radius seems bigger everyday
As my memories of memories, they slowly fade away
As the camera loses focus of the life I knew before
As I lose the good relationships still knocking on my door
Take the key unlock the lock and see just what’s in store
Oh, come back home to me
