I've always kind of liked it here, but never known why
I'll try to figure it out by the end of my life
I think I've grown accustomed to it's looks and to it's ways
And I'm pretty convinced it's where I'll spend the rest of my days
I know it's got it's problems and I know it's got it's dives
But it's the people make a place and it's the people I like
I've seen a lot of towns and I've had a lot of fun
But I've only really ever truly lived in one
Familiarity's never bred contempt
I've never really figured out what they meant
No matter where I travel and no matter where I roam
It's the sunny hills of Wiltshire that I'll always call home
From the winding lanes of Pewsey to the Marlborough downs
The guns on Salisbury Plain to the industrial towns
I've played all over this land in the bars and in the streets
And it's my favourite place to place, because of the people I meet
From the gentry in the manor to the beggar on the road
There's a life that's too be lived and there's a story to be told
I'll tell it in a song because that's all I've got to give
And it's a song about the people and the place I used to live
Familiarity's never bred contempt
I've never really figured out what they meant
No matter where I travel and no matter where I roam
It's the sunny hills of Wiltshire that I'll always call home
I've had a lot of friends and I've had a lot of foes
I've had a lot of happiness and a couple of woes
I've built a lot of bridges although some have been burned
But true friends are like family, that's the one thing I've learned
And every time I look up to the Liddington trees
I'm reminded of the reason that they put me at ease
No matter where I go and no matter what I've done
I'll always believe my heart belongs to SN1
Familiarity's never bred contempt
I've never really figured out what they meant
No matter where I travel and no matter where I roam
It's the sunny hills of Wiltshire that I'll always call home
West Virginia country-folk singer-songwriter Trae Sheehan aims to find a balance between the traditional and the modern on his new LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 29, 2020
Beautifully played and full of moving vocal performances, the Bay Area singer/songwriter's latest is a stellar work of art. Bandcamp Album of the Day Feb 3, 2023
I love all the songs on this album. They hit you in the feels every one of them in different ways. Break the Bottle is close to home and gets me big time. If you can't listen to 'If Home is Where the Heart is' and sing along at the top of voice with joy in your heart, you are dead inside. Lisa Black
