Lyrics
[verse]
Left my heart back on that sun-warmed avenue
Where the old men play dominoes till two
Salt air on my skin, the ocean singing low
That's the home that lives in me wherever I go
[chorus]
Take me back, back to where the palm trees sway
Back to where I danced my nights away
I'm walking city streets but my mind's on that shore
Half of me is here, the rest is out that door
[verse]
Grandma's kitchen window, radio turned up
Cousins on the porch still sharing one cup
New york lights are pretty but they don't compare
To the colors of that street, to the warmth back there
[chorus]
Take me back, back to where the palm trees sway
Back to where I danced my nights away
I'm walking city streets but my mind's on that shore
Half of me is here, the rest is out that door
[bridge]
Every horn I hear brings the memory alive
Every drumbeat pulls me back where my heart survives
I'll come home again, I know the way by heart
Some places never really let you fully part
[chorus]
Take me back, back to where the palm trees sway
Back to where I danced my nights away
I'm walking city streets but my mind's on that shore
Half of me is here, the rest is out that door
