"Home"

Dierks Bentley


This week the song “Home” was number three according to billboard.com. This song may have a different meaning for people listening to it than it does for Dierk’s when he writes. This song is an upbeat song with a very positive meaning. I really love all of Dierk’s Bentley’s music and this song is no exception!

The song "Home" by Dierks Bentley was also written by him. "My home is in Nashville with my family, my home is on the road with our fans and my home is definitely in country music," Dierks said. This song means a lot to him because it talks about what his "home" is and everything that is important in his life. He says that this song is a compilation of trial and error that he tested out with his fans while on tour.

West, on a plane bound west
I see her stretching out below
Land, blessed mother land
The place where I was born

Scars, she’s got her scars
Sometimes it starts to worry me
Cause lose, I don’t want to lose
Sight of who we are

From the mountains high
To the wave-crashed coast
There’s a way to find
Better days I know

It’s been a long hard ride
Got a ways to go
This is still the place
That we all call home

Free, nothing feels like free
though it sometimes means we don’t get along
Cause same, no we’re not the same
But that’s what makes us strong

From the mountains high
To the wave-crashed coast
There’s a way to find
Better days I know

It’s been a long hard ride
Got a ways to go
This is still the place
That we all call home

Brave, gotta call it brave
To chase that dream across the sea
Names, then they signed their names
For something they believed

Red, how the blood ran red
And we laid our dead in sacred ground
Just think, wonder what they think
If they could see us now

It’s been a long hard ride
Got a ways to go
This is still the place
That we all call home

It’s been a long hard ride
And I won’t lose hope
This is still the place
That we all call home

I don't think I've heard this song yet. It's neat that he played it for crowds before recording it.
