Tones of Home

Lyrics by Blind Melon

What do you think they would say if I stood up and walked away.
Nobody here really understands me, and so I'll wave goodbye, I'm fine. I'm fine.
Tones of home.

Said you don't like the way I'm living, you don't like me.
Tones of home, tones of home.
And so I wave goodbye.
I'm flyin', I'm flyin' home.

And I always thought this would be the land of milk and honey.
Oh but I come to find out that it's all hate and money.
And there's a canopy of greed holding me down.

                   - Chorus -

See I'm so high to you, so I'll fade away - you said you're on your own.
Your mom and daddy said, that your sister said, and your brothers saying everybody, is saying everybody is saying I, eye, God I gotta go!

All my friends patronize me and they say yo hey boy! Have you found what you're looking for.
It seems they don't really know me cause it's here, and it's what they can't see....

                  - Chorus -
