Homeward Bound to Iowa

[Verse] Under the Florida sun, we all did gather Mom, Dad, big brother Tanner, and his sweet little daughter Days were filled with laughter, nights with tales to tell Now the time has come to bid goodbye, it's been a spell [Verse 2] Diane holds her granddaughter, whispers in her ear G.T. checks the tickets, ensuring everything is clear Tanner's got the bags and a smile held tight We're heading back to Iowa, on this southern flight tonight [Chorus] Homeward bound to Iowa, through the open sky From the palms of Florida, where the oranges lie Memories in our heart, suitcases in our hand Back to the rolling cornfields, to our family land [Verse 3] Tanner's little girl, her eyes wide with dreams Holding tight to Grandpa, pointing at the airplane wings Mom can't help but tear up, waving one last time Goodbye to the beaches, hello to the prairie rhyme [Verse 4] The buzz of engines roaring, lifting us above A family bound together, flying home with love G.T. looks at Diane, a knowing nod exchanged With each mile we get nearer, life feels re-arranged [Chorus] Homeward bound to Iowa, through the open sky From the palms of Florida, where the oranges lie Memories in our heart, suitcases in our hand Back to the rolling cornfields, to our family land
