Take me back to my freetown road

Where the rain falls hard, and the tear gas blows

I've been around the world, and now I know

There ain't no place that smells like home

Down by the lake where I can grow

Take me back to the air so sweet

It smells like incense, sweat, and weed

I've been around the world, and I trust my feet

To take me back where my old friends meet

Down by the lake where I can grow

Down by the lake where I can grow

Down by the lake where I can grow

Ooh

Sirens in the dead of night

A boy got shot, and the mothers cry

We laid our flowers by the lake

God, he giveth, God, he takes

Take me back to the winter snow

To summer rain where grass can grow

Seasons come, let seasons go

There ain't no place that smells like–

There ain't no place that feels like–

There ain't no place that hurts like home
