about

The song starts in a plane, we are leaving St. Augustine ,Florida in the Spring.

lyrics

The Florida coastline turns into a thin line
From way up here.
Egrets and waiters and white alligators have all disappeared
And palm trees and cobblestone streets sure had their charm
At the Fountain of Youth
We learned about Ponce De Leon
It was so nice to walk the town square with nothing on
But we're going home
Through the eye of the storm
We're going home

We're over Chicago, some day maybe we'll go
But now we're prairie bound
They're salting the runway and clearing the pathways
as we touch down
And shades of white and grey are all you see
Our cab drivers new door was stolen within a week
His new wife is so darn smart she can read his mind
And the cat's in the window as we pull into the drive
It's good to be home
In the eye of the storm
It's good to be home
With a flood coming on

Now Fargo is bracing because they are facing
Yet another rise
Water is dangerous and friends and strangers
are building a dike
The inevitable crest will make its way to you
As the river out back rises up I get a better view
Its cold in this house and I've put on my toque
I won't turn up the heat 'cause Spring is way past due

It's good to be home
It's good to be home
It's good to be home
In the eye of the storm
It's good to be home
With a flood coming on
It's good to be home
It's good to be home
It's good
