Lyric:

(Verse 1)
In 1984, I was 12 years old boy
Every morning I woke up 
but I didn't have time for breakfast
So my mom gave few dollars to Ann Randall
Chevy station wagon car ride to school
I had Dunkin' Donuts for breakfast every morning
She dropped me off at front school
I walked to back of school yard
I had morning recess with young girls
I had lots of crush on them

(Chorus)
Always not home
Always not home
Always not home

(Verse 2)
I had been out of my home everyday
Burkland School in Middleboro, Massachusetts
I was busy in my class with Ms. O'Niel
My former teacher, the best teacher I had

(Pre-chorus)
I was never home at all
I was never home until evening

(Chorus)
Always not home
Always not home
Always not home

(Verse 3)
It was time for lunch
My class and I went to the cafeteria
and had lunch together
Mr. Deleo was always watching us
"Turn that radio off!" he said to boy
as he played his music out loud
I went outside during recess
I hung out with young girls at my age
One girl I had crush was Becky I dreamed of
Then she was being mean to me and broke up

(Chorus)
Always not home
Always not home
Always not home
Always not home
Always not home

Story:

This blog post reflects on a childhood spent mostly away from home, where school became more than just a place to learn—it was a world of its own. From long days at elementary school to carefree afternoons spent socializing during recess, the story captures the feeling of growing up untethered. It explores friendships formed in simple moments, the energy of youth, and the early pull toward music.

As the day ended, the experience didn’t stop. Evenings stretched into nights filled with rock n roll played in the schoolyard, turning ordinary spaces into something electric and alive. The backyard became a stage, and childhood blurred into something louder, freer, and almost rebellious. The post paints a vivid picture of independence, early identity, and the feeling of never quite being “home,” yet always belonging somewhere in the moment.
