Happy to Be Home
May 2004
Written by Jason Moon

I need a comfortable pillow where I can lay my head.
Somewhere that I can call home that has more than just a bed.
I need a welcome mat, a Calico cat, and someone to chew the fat,
And I’m so happy to be home.

I was so far way, every day it was more of the same.
I could run, but I couldn't hide, from all the stuff I was burying down inside.
Eventually you got to let it out, and right now I just want to shout,
That I’m so happy to be home.

(Bridge)
There’s no place I’d rather be, but for quite some time it wasn’t up to me,
I’ll just sit here and see what the world will bring today.

Take it one day at a time; pour myself another glass of wine,
And say thank god that I'm alive today.
I just want to thank god that I'm alive today.

I’ve unpacked my duffle bag, threw away those old dog tags.
And right now I’m going to steal a little time, steal a little time away.
I’m going to sit right here and strum this song and I might even sing it all night long.
Cause I’m so happy to be home.

I need a new pair of tennis shoes, a woman that won’t give me the blues.
Someone that I can talk to, to listen to me whine.
I need a little time for myself; I need to read some of these books up on my shelf,
And I’m so happy to be home.

(Bridge)
I’m going to sit right here all by myself, I don't need anybody else,
To tell me just how proud of me they are.

I’ve been around long enough, to know that I don’t need that stuff;
You know temporary has a way of wearing thin.
And all this “welcome home, were so proud of you, good job”, bull shit is wearing thin.

I need a little dog and a country farm, a woman to hold in my arms.
I need a new set of guitar strings; I got to unpack a couple more things.
But right now, I’m just going to sit right here, put my feet up and have me another beer.
Cause I’m so happy to be home,
Yeah I’m so happy to be home.
