not going back there

Not going back there  aint no need                                              
Seen all there is to see
Took the train here back to me
back to where my soul is free

There is a peace here can't be found                
on any city concrete ground
and all the people rushing by
never stopping themselves and asking why

I see beauty outside my door
dirt dragged in on the kitchen floor
lab dog laying at Daddy's feet
kitten on the front stoop ready to greet

there's nothing pulling on my rein
no reason to go down that track again
what I have is all right here
with the peaceful sound of the whippoorwill

chorus
cat scratching under the willow tree
the lazy river winding in front of me
butterflies in a dance of bliss
there is nothing I would trade for this

the stars full in the bright night sky
the whir of wings when the geese fly by
Got all I need here
this train's come home
