Home at Last[1]
By: Steely Dan (1977)

I know this super highway
This bright familiar sun
I guess that I’m the lucky one
Who wrote that tired sea song
Set on this peaceful shore 5
You think you’ve heard this one before

Well the danger on the rocks is surely past
Still I remain tied to the mast
Could it be that I have found my home at last
     Home at last 10

She serves the smooth retsina
She keeps me safe and warm
It’s just the calm before the storm
Call in my reservation
So long hey thanks my friend 15
I guess I’ll try my luck again

Well the danger on the rocks is surely past
Still I remain tied to the mast
Could it be that I have found my home at last
     Home at last 20


notes

  1. ↑ From the 1977 album Aja, with Homer’s Odyssey as an obvious influence. This song has always been the height of cool for me: from the “Purdie shuffle” to the understated horn section, this is the heart of Aja and an understated masterpiece. Check out the later “True Companion” for a more futuristic companion to this song.
