Home Is Where the Kettle's Already On

Lyrics

Three thousand miles from my mother's stove
Sleeping on the floor of a borrowed van
The band's got a show in a town I can't spell
And I'm missing my own two hands
Holding a mug in the kitchen light
With the steam on the window glass
Homesick doesn't ask permission
It just sits beside you in the back

Home is where the kettle's already on
Home is where they know your name
Even when the miles are long
Even when you're far from the flame
Oh-oh, I'll find my way back
Oh-oh, I'll find my way back
Home is where the kettle's already on

We play the songs for a room of strangers
And somebody sings along
And for three minutes I forget the distance
Like we all belong
Then I call my brother from a gas station
And he holds the phone up to the dog
And I hear the tail thump on the floorboards
And I laugh until I'm lost

Home is where the kettle's already on
Home is where they know your name
Even when the miles are long
Even when you're far from the flame
Oh-oh, I'll find my way back
Oh-oh, I'll find my way back
Home is where the kettle's already on

Every road bends back around
Every van runs out of gas
And the porch light's burning at the end of it
For the ones who made it back

Home is where the kettle's already on
Home is where they know your name
Even when the miles are long
Even when you're far from the flame
Oh-oh, I'll find my way back
Oh-oh, I'll find my way back
Home is where the kettle's already on

The kettle's already on
The kettle's already on
