[Verse 1] I came back by the old north road With dust on my boots and a borrowed coat The pines stood tall where the cold winds pass And the peak kept watch through the window glass [Pre-Chorus] I carried a map, I carried a scar I carried the name of where we are [Chorus] Welcome back to Shasta, master blasta Raise your voice and let it ring Welcome back to Shasta, master blasta Home is more than just a thing From the river stone to the snowline fire From the first dawn red to the last star higher Welcome back to Shasta, master blasta I have returned to my mountain king [Verse 2] The town still knows the shape of my stride A porch light burned on the eastern side Someone laughed from the general store Like I had only been gone a day before [Pre-Chorus] I learned the roads that the world can bend But some true north roads bring you home again [Chorus] Welcome back to Shasta, master blasta Raise your voice and let it ring Welcome back to Shasta, master blasta Home is more than just a thing From the river stone to the snowline fire From the first dawn red to the last star higher Welcome back to Shasta, master blasta I have returned to my mountain king [Bridge] No throne, no flag, no golden gate Just a cabin door and a plate on the table A hand on my shoulder, a place by the stove A promise that says I am ready to grow [Final Chorus] Welcome back to Shasta, master blasta Let the whole wide valley sing Welcome back to Shasta, master blasta I remember everything With the wind in the firs and the hawk overhead With the roads I will walk and the words I will say Welcome back to Shasta, master blasta I am home, and I am here to stay [Outro] Welcome back Welcome back to Shasta The mountain knows my name
