[Verse 1] It's where I keep my heart Where I plan my routes Where my soul comes from Where I learn to sing the blues Raised on the saving grace I live in love My secret hiding place When the world's too much [Chorus] Let the new shine fade Let the lights burn out Let the time slip away And bury me in that ground When I'm all used up And I'm old and grey When the well runs dry And my mind just ain't the same Won't you set me free Where the tall pine stays Where I was born to be Back in my homeland [Verse 2] The world may change But this whole town's still the same There's that old dirt road Next to that run down bank There's that beat up truck In my dad's backyard I can still hear it run When we used to drive it hard [Chorus] Let the new shine fade Let the lights burn out Let the time slip away And bury me in that ground When I'm all used up And I'm old and grey When the well runs dry And my mind just ain't the same Won't you set me free Where the tall pine stays Where I was born to be Back in my homeland [Verse 3] Homeland Wild and free In my homeland Where I was born to be [Bridge] Where I keep my heart Where I plan my routes Where my soul comes from Where I run back to Where I keep my heart Where I plan my routes Where my soul comes from Where I run back to When I'm all used up And I'm old and grey When the well runs dry And my mind just ain't the same Won't you set me free Where the tall pine stays Where I was born to be Back in my homeland [Outro] Homeland (Back in my, back in my homeland) In my homeland (Back in my, back in my homeland) Where I was born to be Back in my homeland (Back in my homeland) Back in my homeland Where I was born to be
