Homecoming

Redcar Lane was the backdrop of my early days
Too dark outside at Borough Park
Took me a while to find my place in Rye Hills School
Until I sang and played guitar

I loved the people there, they always backed the underdogs
And that was us down to a T
The people ask me what it's like to see Los Angeles
I'll say, "It ain't no Redcar Beach"

Take me home, I just wanna feel ya
Take me home, give me all your love
Take me home, I belong in Teesside
It's a long way back
Take me home
Take me home

So many miles and too many streets away
Too long chasin' the gold
Since I was a child, I left my trail of enemies
All in the name of hope

I honed my craft in the lives down by the riverside
I stuck a target on my back
Growin' up 'round here, I learned no one will pity me
And I'm so thankful for that

Take me home, I just wanna feel ya
Take me home, give me all your love
Take me home, I belong in Teesside
It's a long way back

Take me home, I just wanna feel ya
Take me home, to give me all your love
Take me home, I belong in Teesside
And it's a long way back

Take me home
Mm, take me home
Oh, take me home, take me home
Take me home

This is my homecoming
This is my homecoming now
This is my homecoming
It's my homecoming
