I sit here on the stairs and listen to
The night time as the daylight fades away
It's such a haunting and familiar tune
And when I hear it in the distance I can say

That I'm home
In Massachusettes
Where my daughters and my wife they wait for me
All alone
But the [bad word] is
It's where I always am
It's where I long to be
Because I'm home

The north shore is where my father lives
And I wear my red socks around the world with pride
But the berkshires are where my heart is
And when I see them in the distance I could cry

Because I'm home
In Massachusettes
Where my daughters and my wife they wait for me
All alone
But the [bad word] is
It's where I always am
It's where I long to be

Because I'm home
In Massachusettes
Where my hero teaches classes everyday

And where my friends
Don't treat me different
It's where my family lives
It's where I'll always stay
Because I'm home.
