lyrics

If home is where the heart is I must be lost in my head

Don't give me none of your corn-made whiskey, that'll just go right to my head
I really want you to go there with me, that's what she said
Sometimes it's good to hear your own words played back; get a new angle on the sound...
So if you don't like the way things are going, well, you can change things around...

Mockingbird repeat my every word
I'll let you know if I go too far
Mockingbird sing back my every word
I could let you go but it's just too hard

Wasn't ready for the winter kinda came outta left field
No more crops and yields, Slo-mo shots of 'quil
to warm me up in my body and my soul
it's been cold in here since the heater went up last year
in February it was smokey and scary,
I could barely see down the stairway.
But I guess that's how the winter will do ya,
icy wind blows straight through ya
You think you're tough well this is the season to prove it
Gonna try to turn a new leaf on over to the other side, I'm gonna try

Mockingbird repeat my every word
I'll let you know if I go too far
Mockingbird sing back my every word
I could let you go but it's just too hard

Been eating cheap cuz my wallet's getting skinny
yknow I ain't been paid just yet
But you fill me up with a fuel, it's uncanny
I think I'll just sleep when I'm dead
Do what I do out of good conscience
I don't like letting you down
So if I don't end up the way that I have been, well, I hope you still come around

Didn't see the spring coming right around the corner,
fresh new growth popping up out the soil yeah
Fueled by the past winter's rains, in the last season it really came down didn't it?
Driving down to the desert for the bloom, chant and rock under the equinox moon
Gonna turn a new leaf over to the other side, I'm gonna try

Mockingbird repeat my every word
I'll let you know if I go too far
Mockingbird sing back my every word
I could let you go but it's just too hard
In the flattering imitation game that we're playing
I'll let you know if I take it a little too far yeah
Copycat repeat everything that I've been saying
I'll let you know

If home is where the heart is then I'm already there
