From the recording Ashland Avenue
Lyrics
Today I felt like me again for the first time in forever
It snuck up like a long lost friend
If nothing but a promise of a change in the weather
To guide me on my way back home again
When you feel you’ve reached the bottom but you keep on sinking down
And the light that shines within you is growing dim
Let those who love you hold you dear and turn you back around
And guide you on your way back home again
Chorus: Never has it felt so fine to roll between the Georgia pines
Up the coast of Carolin-a-hundred miles to go
Where the ocean pounds against the Bay
And memories of sunburned days
Take me to the only home I’ve known
Chorus: Never has it felt so fine to leave the sunshine state behind
Into the open arms of kindness, the perfect place to fall
Forever friends and family ties
A welcome sign for weary eyes
Virginia is for lovers after all
I’ve wandered down the road less traveled nearly all my life
With a hunger for what lies around the bend
But with every passing year it seems the mystery loses shine
So this may be the day
That I come back to stay
Guide me on my way back home again
