Тексты

[Verse 1]
I wake with the magpies
Under the red dust sky
Grandma’s hands on the doorway
Saying, girl, walk proud and high

I carry my name like water
In a tin cup by my side
Every road got a memory
Every scar got a guide

[Pre-Chorus]
And I hear that old call
In the creek and the cane
It pulls me back, pulls me back
Through the sun and rain

[Chorus]
Keep me on the home ground
Keep me where I belong
Red dust in my sandals
And your old song

Keep me on the home ground
Say my name, say it true
I am here, I am strong
I’m coming back to you

[Verse 2]
My auntie laughs like thunder
At the table by the stove
Uncles tell the long tales
Of the ones who made the road

I plant my feet in the hard earth
Let the wind braid through my hair
If the world tries to fold me
I remember who is there

[Pre-Chorus]
And I hear that old call
In the creek and the rain
It pulls me back, pulls me back
To my blood and name

[Chorus]
Keep me on the home ground
Keep me where I belong
Red dust in my sandals
And your old song

Keep me on the home ground
Say my name, say it true
I am here, I am strong
I’m coming back to you

[Bridge]
I’ve been down the long road
With a heavy, restless heart
But the stars over Country
Never let me drift too far

So I bow to the morning
I let the old ways sing
One breath, one promise
One girl, one flame

[Chorus]
Keep me on the home ground
Keep me where I belong
Red dust in my sandals
And your old song

Keep me on the home ground
Say my name, say it true
I am here, I am strong
I’m coming back to you
