LYRICS Well, I was no more than a sapling Didn’t know just what would happen When I found myself unpacking At Auntie’s house in the Big Apple to the north Too long were the country days Needed a little change of pace Bustle, bright lights, and subways City folk they know a better way for sure Things they don’t unfold Just the way you think you know Surrounded by the city folk I’d never felt that loneliness before Then I saw that rainbow fly Right back home across the sky And I had to wonder why I left the home made back there just for me When I first saw that rainbow hue As it flew across the blue I confess I sat and thought How can I be something I’m not? There’s a home back there that’s waiting just for me So the rainbow led me back And I dropped the city act For the simple life and fact That home was with my pack here on the farm Well the rainbow stuck around And I stuck to the ground Til I looked up and fin’ly found The missing piece that settled down my heart That rainbow swooped and soared around Loop-de-loopin’ through the clouds And I had to wonder how I’d missed the home made right here just for me When I saw that rainbow hue As it streaked across the blue I felt such a warmth inside Like this might just be alright There’s a home right here that’s waitin’ just for me Now the autumn’s come And side by side we’re gonna run Just like when we were young Maybe a mite bit slower every time I could beat it to the end But sometimes I let it win Look around and take it in And let it lead me homeward one more time Even when the wind is cold And even though I’m growing old I still feel like a pot o’ gold Every time the rainbow lands right next to me ’Cause when that rainbow flies My belly gets those butterflies And even after all this time We’re still two lines that seem to rhyme I know that there’s a home here just for me I know that there’s a home here just for me
