Almost Home

Written by: Mary Chapin Carpenter, Beth Nielsen Chapman, and Annie Roboff

Saw my life this morning  /  Lying at the bottom of a drawer  /  All this stuff I'm saving  /  God knows what this junk is for  /  And whatever I believed in  / This is all I have to show  /  What the hell were all the reasons?  /  For holding on for such dear life  /  Here's where I let go

Chorus:  I'm not running  /  I'm not hiding  /  I'm not reaching  /  I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open  /  Gonna pull my soul in  /  And I'm almost home

And I saw you this morning  /  You were staring back at me  /  From an ancient photograph  /  Stuck between some letters and some keys  /  And I was lost for a moment  /  In the ache of old good-byes  /  Sometimes all that we can know is  /  There's no such thing as no regrets, and baby it's alright

Chorus:  I'm not running  /  I'm not hiding  /  I'm not reaching  /  I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open  /  Gonna pull my soul in  /  And I'm almost home

~Solo~

There's no such thing as no regrets, and baby, it's alright

Chorus:  I'm not running  /  I'm not hiding  /  I'm not reaching  /  I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open  /  Gonna pull my soul in  /  And I'm almost - /  I'm not running now  /  I'm not hiding out  /  I'm not reaching here  /  I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open /  Gonna pull my soul in  /  And I'm almost home  /  And I'm almost home  /  And I'm almost home
