The lyrics are contained within | | signifying each bar. 

verse 1 

|Sitting on the west coast of Ireland | looking out onto the ocean| 

|Knowing youre looking straight on back| feeling that same wave of motion| 

|Take my sweatshirt off| and my t-shirt as usual| 

|Kiss the sand I got some water in my mouth| man its hard being spiritual.| 

Chorus 

|And the sun shines right on down| to the core of my bones| 
|And as much as I know Im far away| I know Im going home| 

verse 2 

|Could see myself flying in| to Minneapolis international| 

|See my folks and my brother and my sister| and the smell of the dog on their clothes| 

|When I get home Im gonna lay right down| to the cool April sun| 

|Gonna lay in the grass till I start itching and Id find| probably move along a few times| 

Chorus 

|And the sun shines right on down| to the core of my bones| 
|And as much as I know Im far away| I know Im going home.| 

verse 3 

|I can get out to California| I had San Francisco on my mind| 

|I could get down to New Orleans| and have that music knock me to the ground| 

|Im gonna stay here| and watch another Wisconsin sun go down| 

|And have dinner with my parents| and head on in to my small small enough town| 

Chorus 

|And the sun shines right on down| to the core of my bones| 
|And as much as I know Im far away| I know Im going home.| 

verse 4 

|And one day were all gonna be a pile of bones| yeah thats what were all gonna be| 

|But Ill still be smiling I guarantee| as long as they dont bury me| 

|I wanna be up and I wanna be able to feel the air| and be where the river meets the sea| 

|Where the sky meets the ocean and where space meets the sky| Ill be singing all of us free| 

|All of us free| 

Chorus: 

|And the sun shines right on down| to the core of my bones| 
|And as much as I know Im far away| I know Im going home.| 

|I know Im going home| 
|I know Im going home| 
|I know Im going home|
