about

Early on a Saturday morning in February of 2022, I woke up with the chorus of this song in my head. It isn't often that this kind of inspiration hits, but when it does it is really cool. This song is dedicated to my loving wife.

lyrics

Five years ago, if you’d asked me
“Where will you live all your days?”
With a joking smile, I would answer
That heaven is the home where I was raised
But along came a girl, took me by the hand
No way of knowing about another promised land

Wherever my love is, is where I wanna be
Mountain or valley, or sea to shining sea
I’ve seen first light on the east coast, the dying embers out west
Anyplace my love is, is the place I love best

These southern roads now seem familiar
Don’t need a map to get around
As I drive along in the twilight
Heading home to where my love can be found
Perhaps the tide will take us to yet another shore
Now that love has given us a boy with eyes like yours

I don’t have to choose between city or country
Or live among the stars in outer space
To learn this lesson that your love has taught me
That home is more about people than place

I know I don’t deserve it, but I know that I’ve been blessed
Anyplace she lays her head is where I wanna rest
Mountain or valley, sea to shining sea
Wherever my love is, is where I wanna be

I know I don’t deserve it, but I’ve been richly blessed
Anyplace my love is, is the place I love best
