Lyrics

I used to chase the big bright lights
Past county roads and motel signs
Thought home was somewhere far ahead
With shiny floors and a king-size bed

But now I know what my heart was after
A little less noise, a little more laughter
A chair in the sun, an old screen door
And someone saying, “You’re home once more”

Funny how life gets simple with time
The smallest place can feel like mine

Give me somewhere small, somewhere mine
A cup of coffee and a porch light shine
A little blue door, a little warm rain
A window glowing at the end of the lane

I don’t need the world to call my name
I just need a room where love remains
After all these miles, after all this time
Give me somewhere small, somewhere mine

There’s a house by the ocean, leaning west
Where the evening wind knows how to rest
There’s a home in the wheat field, gold and wide
Where old songs sit by the fireside

There’s a woman laughing with a dog
There’s a man reading through the fog
There’s a couple holding hands at dusk
Like the whole world finally learned to trust

Maybe the dream was never grand
Maybe it fit in the palm of a hand

Give me somewhere small, somewhere mine
A cup of coffee and a porch light shine
A little blue door, a little warm rain
A window glowing at the end of the lane

I don’t need the world to call my name
I just need a room where love remains
After all these miles, after all this time
Give me somewhere small, somewhere mine

I’ve had my hurry, I’ve had my race
I’ve lost some years I can’t replace
But I found peace in a quiet view
And a handmade house beneath the blue

If heaven has a porch somewhere
I hope there’s an old wood chair
And when I get there, tired but fine
It’ll feel like somewhere small, somewhere mine

Give me somewhere small, somewhere mine
A cup of coffee and a porch light shine
A little blue door, a little warm rain
A window glowing at the end of the lane

I don’t need the world to call my name
I just need a room where love remains
After all these miles, after all this time
Give me somewhere small, somewhere mine

After all these miles
After all this time
I found somewhere small
Somewhere mine
