about

"Can't Go Home" was written in the middle of some kind of fit or emotional storm. It's about selling my grandmother's house, of getting rid of that property and learning to let go of that property. It was also a way for me to work out some of my feelings about what happened in that house over nearly 30 years of living in it and waking up to go to funeral after funeral each one more painful than the last. Some things are better in the rearview mirror of life. Some things are best remembered through a beautiful piece of art that covers a wound.

lyrics

Cleaning out the old homestead
Nana can't afford the mortgage
Alone
You can't go home

She might bust she might cry
But when you see the gold dust fly
You know
You can't go home

And I got a call from Portland
And it made me think of you
Yeah, I got a call from Portland
And it made me think of you

It's been so long since you moved away
Sometimes I still think I see your face
You know
But you can't go home

Do the dishes and take out the trash
Oh but when I miss you it comes on fast
You can't go home

And I got a call from Portland
And it made me think of you
Yeah, I got a call from Portland
And it made me think of you

And someday when I'm old and gray
Your face it might fade away
You only live inside my memory
I'll be good I won't cuss
I'm still mad at you for leaving us
You know
But you can't go home
No you can't go home
No you can't go home
