lyrics

YOU’RE THE REASON

Cross the valley
From the beaches
Mama likes to
Call you peaches
Barefoot through the
Woods you like to go
Ragamuffin
What’s you knowin’
Like a flower
You be growin’
You’re the reason
That I call this home

La da da da da da
da da da da da
La da da da
da da da da da
La da da da da da
da da da da da
La da da da da
da da da da

Midnight walking
Through the hills
By the secret daffodils
Redwood bark and
Meadow lark you know
Even down the
Miwok trail
Moonlight seems so
Very pale
You’re the reason
That I call this home

Oh shine like water
On your face
Sons and daughters
Take your place
Laughing houses
Skies of gold
Shadows come and
Shadows fold away
Hear what I say
The night and the day
Hear what I say
The reason to stay is you

Maybe on the San Andres
Someone’s gonna
Have to save us
Underneath an
Ever changing dome
All the beauty
Of a painting
Wonder why it’s
Captivating
You’re the reason
Why I call this home

Ranchers writers
Farmers poets
Even mother nature
Knows it’s
Still the bee that
Makes the honeycomb
You’re the light house
In the dark
You’re the bright spot
And the spark
You’re the reason
Why I call this home
