about

Recorded at CrabApple-On-Sea,
Huntington Beach, California

lyrics

From the mountains to the sea
And all the spaces in between
There's no place I'd rather be than my home
I've traveled all around
Man I kissed some holy ground
But no place I've ever found like my home

When I'm down and all alone
Nobody's picking up the phone
I run outside and let the sunshine in
Seems I'm busy all the time
Without a reason or rhyme
Gotta get outside and thaw my heart out
Lettin' the sunshine
Lettin' the sunshine in

Whether dirty or it's clean
Or something in between
The greatest place I've ever seen is my home
And as the sunset unfurls
I know my place in the world
And Brian says we've got the prettiest Girls back home

Running late I gotta go
So much running to and fro
Take the time to let the sunshine in
When you get to feeling old
Nights are long and days are cold
Gotta get outside and thaw your heart out
Lettin' the sunshine
Lettin' the sunshine in

I've got blue skies up above
And is if that weren't enough
Everyone I've ever loved called this home
We all live some, then we die
We're only here for a short time
But I know where I'll spend mine
