Lyrics

[Intro]
[Verse]
Pink slips on the shipyard gate
Iron dust and a heavy fate
Tools are packed in a cedar crate
I left the coast, I couldn't wait
Twenty years on the welding floor
Now I don't go there no more
Just the rattle of the old Ford door
And a heart that’s feeling sore
[Pre-Chorus]
Grandpa’s tackle in the bed
Every word he ever said
Two hundred miles of asphalt grey
Chasing down the break of day
[Chorus]
Oh, the water’s cold and deep
Secrets that the mountains keep
Leave the mill town far behind
Peace is what I came to find
Wade in where the river flows
Home is where the cedar grows
[Verse]
Rattle of my worn-out boots
Digging up these stubborn roots
I never said a real goodbye
Underneath a salt-stained sky
I held a grudge against this mud
Running through my restless blood
But the lake is calling out my name
And I’m the only one to blame
[Hook]
Cast the line, let it go
Watch the silver ripples grow
Cast the line, let it go
[Chorus]
Oh, the water’s cold and deep
Secrets that the mountains keep
Leave the mill town far behind
Peace is what I came to find
Wade in where the river flows
Home is where the cedar grows
[Bridge]
The salt is gone, the air is sweet
Glacial stones beneath my feet
Snow-capped peaks begin to glow
Forgiving things from long ago
I was lost, but now I know
I was lost, but now I know
[Verse]
Sunlight hits the towering pines
Tangled in these fishing lines
The bitterness has washed away
In the light of a brand new day
I’m standing in the freezing blue
Grandpa, I can feel you too
I’m finally coming home to you
[Chorus]
Oh, the water’s cold and deep
Secrets that the mountains keep
Leave the mill town far behind
Peace is what I came to find
Wade in where the river flows
Home is where the cedar grows
[Post-Chorus]
Home is here
The air is clear
I’ve no more fear
Home is here
[Outro]
