I was in the Army - 80's and 90's - in alot of bad places, and finally 'came home'. But you know..... i never really did. Only in this song. He got it so right! And now?...... well, i still dream of 'home' and someday "coming home"... Thanks Bob
Comment with respect to a top comment from Powermaddd one year ago . . . Bob Seger is great, Bruce Springsteen is great . . . our blessings for having both to listen to and enjoy. Surely you never heard County Fair by Bruce. I treasure those specifics in a song to hear, as I (and most) have lived them. No burden, ever. Thanks Bob and Bruce . . . and ROCK ON!
you can always go back to where you were born and raised but if there isnt anything there left to remind you of home it isnt home anymore i go there just to visit my dads baurial place
As I listen to this song, I sob like a little child. I think of my parents. I lost my mom 12 years ago and dad just passed in Jan 2011. I flew "home" and spent 5 weeks with him, and then 1 month later, I was at his funeral. It was at that point I realized that this place was no longer "Home" because it wasn't the "Place" that made it home. It was those 2 very special people that made it "Home". They made it the soft place I could land, if I ever fell down.
This song has a special meaning for the Norwegian soldiers serving in Lebanon during the civil war and the Israeli invation back in the beginning of the 80's!
This was the last collaboration with Barry Beckett-piano, Pete Carr - guitar, Roger Hawkins - drums, David Hood - bass, Randy McCormick - keyboards better known as the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. He did work with Beckett again in Nashville. Maybe I'm biased because Muscle Shoals is my home but to me he was at his best during those years.
@daniel777891 Your comment touched me~I hope you have found peace! Maybe your dad had something to do with the timing of that song. take care......Debbie
@daniel777891 we will miss our dads til we pass, mine has been gone 23 yrs think of him everyday, i have a bunch of pics of him for my screen saver and it seems like 8 out of 10 times when i go in computer room his pic comes on screen with his police uniform on like he is saying hi son im watching you lol. I smile everytime i see him. Love you Dad.
@chance501 Same thing here folks about the screen saver. Boath mom and dad went within seven months of each other. Just in the past year at that. Not a day goes by I don't think of them both but to be able to look over at the monitor that was sitting idle and have both their faces pop up smiling....well lets just say it helps to get me through my day sometimes.
@ObaryMskyJ100 Sorry about your loss, thats a rough one, the same year, God Bless. All i can say is stay strong, and you will get throught it. I wish you nothing but the best.
Thanks for this wonderfull song my grandsons love it now one of them has a child of his own. I have listened to and loved Bob Seager singing for a a very long time I am in my 60s Ship of Fools is also a fantastic song I remember singing his songs till early morning on the week ends Thanks again from over here in New Zealand
It is SO true that "you can't go home again". I always heard that when I was younger and thought what a bunch of BS. Now I know from experience that it's true. And all I can say is... enjoy it while it lasts because it never does and life is like that.
p.s. I am still gonna party my ass off at the Herndon Ox Roast in Herndon KS this summer June 12th!!!
A hauntingly beautiful song. Seger can really present the core of small town, blue collar life without burdening you down with specifics like Springsteen tended to do. I like Bruce, but Seger's got more easy-going and richer appeal to me.
Zucchero secondo me ha preso spunto e poi l'ha cambiata in meglio rendendola unica.... Questa è troppo ripetiviva e direi anche pallosa.. Nulla a che vedere con la bellissima Così Celeste..

The piano shines in this song. It's simply beautiful.
