Sit here on the stairs and listen to 
The nighttime as the daylight fades away
It's such a haunting and familiar tune, 
When I hear it in the distance I can say that I'm home

In Massachusetts
Where my daughters and my wife, they wait for me, all alone
But the truth is it's where I always am, it's where I long to be
Because I am home

The north shore is where my father lives, 
I wear my Red Sox hat 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 Massachusetts
Where my daughters and my wife, they wait for me, all alone
But the truth is it's where I always am, it's where I long to be

Nyla started pre-school
Indie just turned two
And Zoe's just the perfect mix of me and you
They keep getting older 
Time keeps going by
To think about it makes your daddy wanna cry

So I just passed the sign that welcomes me to Worthington
Established long before this country came to be
A place that at hasn't really changed with time
The way this country that I love it, used to be

Because I'm home
In Massachusetts
Where my daughters and my wife, they wait for me, all alone
But the truth is it's where I always am, it's where I long to be
Because I am home
Where my hero teaches classes everyday 
And where my friends they don't treat me different
It's where my family is, it's where I'll always stay
Because I'm home
