[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong
And I wanted to die
That’s when …
[Verse 1]
Got some money, got some cash
I’m rich and now I’m sad
And I wonder if I’m sad about the money that I have

When the only sound in the empty street

That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
When the moon so long has been gazing down

I got a piece of land out in the countryside
Lay back and smell the sun warm up the Georgia pine1
Feels so good to be taking it easy
Why would I ever leave?2 Cause I know
I got some good friends that live down the street
Got a good looking woman with her arms ’round me3

Homegrown6
Homegrown
We got a fire going down by the riverside7
Sip whiskey out the bottle, living like we’ll never die8
Come on and stay a while if you don’t believe me
Why would I ever leave, cause I know
I got some good friends that live down the street
Got a good looking woman with her arms ’round me
Here in a small town, where it feels like home
I’ve got everything I need and nothing that I don’t
Homegrown
Homegrown
I got some good friends that live down the street
Got a good looking woman with her arms ’round me
Here in a small town, where it feels like home
I’ve got everything I need

And nothing that I don’t

Everything I need

It’s the weight that you carry from the the things that you think you want
Weight you carry
It’s the weight that you carry from the the things that you think you want

I’ve got everything I need, nothing that I don’t
Homegrown
Everything I need, nothing that I don’t
Homegrown
Everything I need, nothing that I don’t
Homegrown
Oh, everything I need and nothing that I don’t

Zac Brown Band describes the bliss of living in the peaceful countryside, something which is calming to all of one’s senses. It’s a very relaxing lifestyle.
Zac Brown asks this question rhetorically, meaning that he is perfectly comfortable in his relaxing home environment.
Zac Brown expresses gratitude for his friends and family that are so close to him, geographically speaking.
Towns in which everyone knows one another give some people a great sense of comfort and community.
Zac Brown is essentially singing that “life is good.”
Someone who is homegrown is somebody who originates from the area in which they remain into the later years of their life.
Outdoor fires are a common nostalgic experience for those who live in rural areas.
The camaraderie that is built when drinking heavy alcoholic beverages evokes a feeling of belonging.
According to the Zac Brown Band, the only reason people have trouble in life is because they think they need something that don’t have. In reality, everything one needs is already present in abundance.
