Don't you agree when they all say
Home is where the heart is
But do you see
With every step that you take
You get further away
From where the heart is
It's so easy to be blinded
And caught up up in the clouds
where everything's in a haze
Causing you to forget about the days
Of the common simple
beautiful ways
I remember all the times
that I had spent with my friends
Taking BART to San Francisco
just for 350 cents
Talking laughing joking
didn't quite know what was to come
Years of memories
irreplaceable fun
I remember telling mom
that I'd make her proud one day
She would smile and knew exactly
all the right things to say
Man I miss her and can't wait
'til I get back to the Bay
Back to the common simple
beautiful ways
Isn't it nice
To simply know
There's somewhere
you can go back to
So it's a big sacrifice
Everytime that you decide
You can't even if you want to
It's so easy to be blinded
And caught up up in the clouds
where everything's in a haze
Causing you to forget about the days
Of the common simple
beautiful ways
I remember all the times
that I had spent with my friends
Taking BART to San Francisco
just for 350 cents
Talking laughing joking
didn't quite know what was to come
Years of memories
irreplaceable fun
I remember telling mom
that I'd make her proud one day
She would smile and knew exactly
all the right things to say
Man I miss her and can't wait
'til I get back to the Bay
Back to the common simple
beautiful ways
