Pictures on a Wall Lyrics by Ira Wolf

The Closest Thing to Home

0

[Verse 1]
I've climbed the mountains in Montana
Danced in the lights of New Orleans
Portland ran away with me and San Fransisco stayed with me
Nashville made its way in between
[Verse 2]
Fell in love in Minnesota
And fell apart south of Salt Lake
Colorado calls to me, and Washington’ll always be
Begging for a piece of me to stay
Maybe some things never change
[Chorus]
But I wanna know how it feels to hang pictures on a wall
Sleep in the same bed at night
I want reasons to stay
I want someone to take up my time and miss me when I go
[Verse 3]
I've swam the beaches on the west coast
And climbed the trees of Caroline
I have felt the city streets of Boston underneath my feet
Heard the sound of subways down the line
[Verse 4]
Walked the lakesides of Wisconsin
And bathed in springs of Idaho
I could use a day or two, or even just an afternoon, gettin' myself lost in Chicago
Maybe I'm homesick for it all
[Chorus]
'Cause I wanna know how it feels to hang pictures on a wall
Sleep in the same bed at night
I want reasons to stay
I want someone to take up my time and miss me when I go
I want a home
[Bridge]
'Cause I have traveled across this country wide
And I feel there must be somethin' more to find
[Verse 5]
I miss those mountains in Montana
I have wandered long enough to know how good a good thing was
I feel it more the further that I get
So the wheels are pointed west
[Chorus]
'Til I know how it feels to hang pictures on a wall
Sleep in the same bed at night
I want reasons to stay
I want someone to take up my time and miss me when I go
[Outro]
I'll find reasons to stay, and someone to take up my time
And I'm not gonna go
When I get home
I'm goin' home
