All of my friends will be gone someday
They'll go off to better places
I think I'm stuck here
I'm going to stay
and stick with familiar faces
They say you'll know when you've found a home
But that's when they think that you're leaving
I tell them i've found it - been here all along
And they refuse to believe me
(Chorus)
Maybe in some other lifetime
I was a vagabond girl
And I traveled the country,
and seen all the world,
but I got tired of always leaving
It's like there's an anchor inside me
Something keeps pulling me back
And I'll row my canoe down the river
But the river will take me right back
V2:
Maybe it's not metaphysical
But that's what I choose to believe
My soul's in the harbor
My heart's in the sea
Or maybe I'm just scared to leave
(Chorus)
But the river will take me right back (3x)
