No More Blues

No more blues, I’m going back home
No more blues, I promise no more to roam
Home is where the heart is, the funny part is
My heart’s been right here all along
No more tears and no more sighs
And no more fears, I’ll say no more goodbyes
If travel beckons me I swear I’m gonna refuse
I’m gonna settle down and there’ll be no more blues
Everyday while I am far away
my thoughts turn homeward, forever homeward
I travel 'round the world in search of happiness
But really all the happy and joyful times
they were always in my hometown
Up 'till now I have tried to escape life
Jump on a place and take off far from problems and strife
But it didn’t work, 'cause problems have this habit of
chasing you around, not letting go
No matter where you try to run away to
They will follow you and force you to look them right in the face
So you can run to a place if you think you’ll find a space
And you can race until you’re red in the face
But I can tell you from experience that you must embrace
those problems as your own
Before you find the inner peace that you’ve been looking for
Return with nothing to fear then you can
Clear your uneasy mind, leave it behind,
rewind and then you’ll find
That your happiness, if it’s from inside you’ve nothing to lose
That’s when you’ll have no more blues
