That's Where I Belong

When the frantic pace of life attacks me And weighs me to the ground I long for someplace to escape To the one place I have found No stoplights to obey No signs or limits there Just drop the hook And make your home almost anywhere Where the sky meets the water Where the wind is my song Where the sun is my brother That's where I belong The gentle motion of the seas Just rocks me off to sleep No sirens, cars or screams Just quiet ocean breeze A frigate bird encircles me A 1000 feet above She dips her wing and bows her head Like we share a common love Where the sky meets the water Where the wind is my song Where the sun is my brother That's where I belong When the moonlight cracks the edge of night And stars are everywhere I can taste the rum and coke And I can smell that salty air A light spray across my bow Cools the evening sun As it slowly melts into the sea And tells me day is done Where the sky meets the water Where the wind is my song Where the sun is my brother That's where I belong When the common themes of life They come and overload my brain I steer my thoughts right to that place That takes me far away When the traffic fills that concrete path That takes me back and forth I usually sit and dream about That biggest piece of earth Where the sky meets the water Where the wind is my song Where the sun is my brother That's where I belong Where the sky meets the water Where the wind is my song Where the sun is my brother That's where I belong Yeah, that's where I belong Oh, that's where I belong --- That's Where I Belong - Alan Jackson
