Back Home
The black and the white kept far away
It wasn’t hard to see
It wasn’t right, it wasn’t fair
It's the way it had to be…
Back home
Where the times never change
Back home
Where they never break their chains
Back home
The rules they made and never broke
They brought us to today
And if you got what it takes
Then maybe you should stay
Back home
Where the winds blow so cold
Back home
Where the new becomes the old
Back home
Back home
Where the times never change
Back home
Where they never break their chains
Back home
Back home
Ace’s return to home to racially divided Buckle, Texas provided the basis for the song Back Home.
While much had changed since his childhood, quite a bit hadn’t. His mixed feelings of nostalgia and lament can be felt in the heartfelt ballad.
