My Sweet Home New Jersey

How can I forget the pain you left in my heart

From dusting soil off my mothers grave 

to the countless times' life tore me apart

My Sweet Home New Jersey

Ohio is calling my name

I can hear the chatter within the walls of my mind

But I am not ashamed

My Sweet Home New Jersey

I have the need to go now

Life has been a wild ride

Ohio, l will find my way somehow.

Title is terrific and I love the repeating lines, ads a homesick feeling to the piece. Sometimes you just have to pick up and move on, and as hard as it is, you know it will be for the better. You can always return, but you can never truly go home. Great work!!

Thank you for your kind words!! I have had various good memories here as well, but being here just makes me feel stuck. I just want to venture out!
