Arum Rae - Heaven and Home lyrics

It's a town outside of town Where the streets are only busy with the breeze And the grocery shelves they stay empty And the county's dry of gin and whiskey There's not much to do around here but raise a family And living's on the poorer side But the eating is good and the talk is friendly and is understood That we're all just trying to get by So my friends and me We lie awake all night Getting serenaded by the cicadas in the summertime Sharing our homemade wine This place may not be much to some But to us it's Heaven and Home Dragging my lonely heart far behind me I've been wandering While my baby-to-be lies only in my dreams There's truth in angels And in the stories that I've been told That life will forge his own road girls And it won't look like gold So my friends and me We lie awake all night Getting serenaded by the cicadas in the summertime Sharing our homemade wine This place may not be much to some But to us it's Heaven and Home
