These mist covered mountains Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Some day you'll return to Your valleys and your farms And you'll no longer burn To be brothers in arms Through these fields of destruction

It's been a long time coming Ye it's been a long time coming Everyone's running from something but we don't know when it's coming So we keep running and running Now there's no light to guide me on my way home Now there's no time to shine my rusty halo

I want to defy The logic of all sex laws Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists I'll let you be my chaperon At the halfway home I'm a full grown man But I'm not afraid to cry Can't you hear those cavalry drums Hijacking your equilibrium

You can have Charleston My home, my heart Where I was born and raised Where one day they're gonna take my body And lay it in a grave But it's got to be this way It's gonna break my heart to say, goodbye But it'll kill me if I stay The cobblestone streets

I'll still call my hometown home That's all I'm ever gonna be You can take me out of the country But you can't take the country out of me, no 'Cause I'm still the girl from Golden Had to get away so I could grow But it don't matter where I'm goin' I've

Gotta find my way back home I've been way too long War Lords, we all Lords, but we your Lords Tryna find home, next stop is the Waldorf Past the racism and fake-ism Type of hate that make you feel worse than a rape victim, raw dogs You other rappers mad

No I don't mind being on my own I said that I don't mind being on my own Sailing down a river alone I've been tryin' to find my way back home But I don't believe in magic Life is automatic But I don't mind being on my own What's the time said today

You can have Charleston My home, my heart Where I was born and raised Where one day they're gonna take my body And lay it in a grave But it's got to be this way It's gonna break my heart to say, goodbye But it'll kill me if I stay The cobblestone streets

Nobody can ever hear him call You need to find a way for what you want to say But before tomorrow 'Cause my friend said he'd take you home He sits in a corner all alone He lives under a waterfall Nobody can see him I need to be myself I can't be no one
