Walked into the back yard
The grass around my feet
First time in a long time
I could really breathe

Back as bare as winter
Hands up in the sky
Frozen like a statue
Watching for a sign

How will I know
How will I know
How will I know when to go home

Rising like a harvest moon
Low across the water
A flower pushing through
The concrete city floor

All across Kentucky
Parts of Arkansas
Farmers in the fields
Waiting for a storm

How will I know
How will I know
How will I know when to go home

Kerosene and cedar
Got me through the night
Found the way back home once
Couldn’t do it twice
