Don't you agree when they all say "Home is where the heart is"? But do you see With every step that you take You get further away From where the heart is?
It's so easy to be blinded And caught up, up in the clouds where everything's in a haze Causing you to forget about the days Of the common, simple, beautiful ways
Chorus: I remember all the times that I had spent with my friends Taking bart to San Francisco just for 350 cents Talking, laughing, joking, didn't quite know what was to come Years of memories, irreplaceable fun I remember telling mom that I'd make her proud one day She would smile and knew exactly all the right things to say Man, I miss her and can't wait 'til I get back to the Bay Back to the common, simple, beautiful ways
Isn't it nice To simply know There's somewhere you can go back to? So it's a big sacrifice Everytime that you decide You can't even if you want to
It's so easy to be blinded And caught up, up in the clouds where everything's in a haze Causing you to forget about the days Of the common, simple, beautiful ways
Chorus
So even though I am happy now I'll never forget where I'm from and how I came to be What was common, ended up to be A very unique treasure I have now decided to keep
I remember all the times that I had spent with my friends Taking bart to San Francisco just for 350 cents Talking, laughing, joking, didn't quite know what was to come Years of memories, irreplaceable fun I remember telling mom that I'd make her proud one day She would smile and knew exactly all the right things to say Man, I miss her and can't wait 'til I get back to the Bay...
