Lyrics: Almost Home
Album: Scattered Smothered and Covered
Artist: Hootie & the Blowfish
 
Walking on the water in a van 

Tryin to think of everything I can 

But it’s getting very late, 

And these tapes don’t sound too good 

And my body just don’t feel 

The way I wish it would. 

I was driving when I heard you call my name. 

It was not like before not quite the same 

It’s too late to be much good and I might as well confess 

That I have not got the nerve to borrow cigarettes. 

When I’m almost with you music tries to play, 

When I’m almost home I almost hear you say, 

It would be all right if we could run away. 

Deciding things for all my life 

No one ever tells you when or why 

But my heart can’t seem to tell me 

What would satisfy my mind 

So I jump into the van one more time
