Lyrics

My home is the islands since I was a baby
The scent of the breezes I’ve always known
The mainlanders visit, but they never lingered
Now they are staying to heal their souls
This simple land, this simple land
Was never meant to be owned

Looking on a Maui Sunset out across to Molo-ka-i
Looking on a Maui Sunset guess I better pack my bags
Say goodbye to friends and family in that old o’hana way
I’m hitchin’ a ride tonight, On a Maui sunset
I’m sayin’ goodbye tonight, To a Maui sunset

West to Okinawa the roar of the city
The lights so distracting to island eyes
My music will soar there the melody reaching
Pulling their heartstrings, I’ll sing of home
Of a simple land, a simple land
That was never meant to be owned
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
Almost home, Almost home
Of a simple land, a simple land
That was never meant to be owned
PRAYER/KEY CHANGE CHORUS

Say goodbye to friends and family in that old o’hana way
I’m hitchin’ a ride tonight, On a Maui sunset
I’m sayin’ goodbye tonight, To a Maui sunset
I’m hitchin’ a ride----
