Verse One — Jack

My mama said I was born with a restless soul

Always on the move, looking for more than rain on a tin roof

So I went out into this big old world

Hoping to soar

Playing until my fingers ached

Verse Two— Ivy

My daddy said Tennessee's your heart

Little girl, no matter how far you go

The whispering pines still call your name

But go chase those dreams

Knowing you can always come back home

Verse Three— Jack

So I went all around this land

Singing for my supper

Looking for the comfort of home

But saw only lights

Shining so bright they blinded me

Verse Four— Ivy

I sang every stage from Nashville to LA

Searching for the thing I couldn't name

Thought if I found the right song

It would show me the way

But the road just kept going

Taking me away from home

Bridge— voices together

We'd almost stopped believing

That the road would lead us right

Almost made our peace

With a beautiful and lonely life
