Soft Place to Land
It was a long way home on that country road
and he spent all day driving home.
The car was a jumping
and the spirits were high
as he looked for the house
at each bend in the road
A trip to the homestead was always something special
Where grandma and grandpa await
They welcomed him in like he had never left
And they saved all their love for him
Going back home to the place where he came from
The place where his feet hit the ground
Going back home where the love was awaiting
With open arms and a soft place to land.
But life became hard and the struggles are real
And tears are just waiting to flow
He just needs to go back to where it all started
The home where the love made all the pain go away
Going back home to the place where he came from
The place where his feet hit the ground
Going back home where the love was awaiting
With open arms and a soft place to land.
It’s just a day away
When you’re on the road traveling
But a lifetime away
When you can’t go back home
We all need a soft place to land
When life gets too hard
So give up the pride and pain that you keep
And travel the road to the arms that await
Go back home to the place where you came from
The place where your feet hit the ground
Go back home where the love is awaiting
With open arms and a soft place to land.

Good write: the nostalgia / remembered happiness come through strongly. I'm hearing frailing banjo underneath (but then I would. :)
