The lyrics trace her life from New York to Florida, meeting her husband, and their life on the road as musicians. She sings about the constant travel and temporary addresses, but emphasizes that as long as they are together, she feels at home. The song expresses gratitude for their adventurous life and the blessing of sharing it with family. It's a celebration of love, commitment, and the security found in a relationship, with a subtle nod to thanking God for their journey.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I was born in New York City
Raised in the Sunshine State
And I met a boy from Georgia
And we set a wedding date

Now my heart beats for the drummer
Yeah, there's no sign of slowing down
Together we sing for our supper
Every night, a different town, singing

Maybe I was made to wander
Maybe I was born to roam
But, baby, as long as you're with me
I am home, I am home

Sometimes it feels like Starbucks
Is my permanent address
And my kids are frequent fliers
They've been north and south, east and west, 'cause

Maybe I was made to wander
Maybe I was born to roam
But, baby, as long as you're with me
I am home, I am home

Rolling from city to city
Out on the open road
Baby, as long as you're with me
I am home, I am home

We bought a house in Nashville
Said maybe we should put down roots
This life is a great big adventure
And I thank God we get to do what we do, 'cause

Maybe I was made to wander
Maybe I was born to roam
But, baby, as long as you're with me
I am home, I am home

Rolling from city to city
Out on the open road
Baby, as long as you're with me
I am home, I am home
