Homeland - John Hiatt[00:00:00]

Well I jumped so high[00:00:12]

Knocked the table over[00:00:14]

Thought I saw a ghost[00:00:15]

Come out of the clover[00:00:17]

She lived in this house[00:00:18]

Forty odd years or so[00:00:20]

She was buried in the back[00:00:25]

With the English and the natives[00:00:26]

Slaughtered like sheep[00:00:28]

Women and babies[00:00:30]

Lot of blood and tears[00:00:31]

Three hundred years ago[00:00:33]

It's like they're caught up in the trees[00:00:37]

In the webs of spiders[00:00:39]

Spun out of leaves[00:00:40]

Ghostly riders[00:00:42]

Lookin' for a trail[00:00:44]

To find their way back home[00:00:45]

But there's nothing back there[00:00:50]

Or tomorrow[00:00:52]

No place they[00:00:53]

Can put their sorrow[00:00:55]

Heavy as death[00:00:56]

Cold as a broken stone[00:00:58]

And I call this place my homeland[00:01:02]

And I claim this land I own[00:01:08]

But it belongs to another people[00:01:14]

They possess it in their bones[00:01:20]

Well I can hear them in the night[00:01:30]

Like a hundred televisions[00:01:31]

Hummin' down low[00:01:33]

Beneath the subdivisions[00:01:35]

All they really want[00:01:36]

Is if we can hear 'em now[00:01:38]

They been troublin' this plain[00:01:42]

Lookin' for attention[00:01:44]

Making crazy tracks[00:01:46]

They need an intervention[00:01:47]

All they really want[00:01:49]

Is to get back home somehow[00:01:50]

So build up a fire[00:01:55]

Say a little prayer[00:01:57]

And cook a little meat[00:01:58]

Pull 'em up a chair[00:02:00]

And offer them a plate[00:02:01]

Maybe we can all find peace[00:02:03]

You can't bury anything[00:02:07]

Men or nations[00:02:09]

Old memories old vibrations[00:02:10]

The pain doesn't stop[00:02:13]

Just because the killin' ceased[00:02:15]

And I call this place my homeland[00:02:19]

And I claim this land I own[00:02:25]

It belongs to another people[00:02:31]

They possess it in their bones[00:02:38]

Well I jumped so high[00:03:15]

Straight up off the bed sheet[00:03:17]

Nightmare sky[00:03:18]

Bloody with the red heat[00:03:20]

Started to shake[00:03:21]

'Cause I couldn't find my way back home[00:03:23]

Well I landed in the ditch[00:03:27]

Landed in the gutter[00:03:29]

Landed in the arms[00:03:31]

Of my long lost mother[00:03:32]

Cryin' like a child[00:03:34]

While the Bayou Pierre groaned[00:03:35]

And I call this place my homeland[00:03:40]

And I love this land I own[00:03:46]

But it belongs to another people[00:03:52]

They possess it in their bones[00:03:58]

Yeah I call this place my homeland[00:04:04]

And I claim this land I own[00:04:10]

But it belongs to another people[00:04:16]

They possess it in their bones[00:04:22]
