2 people find themselves in other places of the world, but comfort themselves with a song reminding them of home -- San Antonio.

Story behind the song
After hearing about an American Soldier in Iraq missing his home in San Antonio, it inspired me to write a song about missing home.
Lyrics
SAN ANTONIO
Written and Performed by Matthew Casey 2003
KATIES SUCH A LONG LONG WAY FROM HOME
SHE KNEW THAT SHE WOULD MAKE IT ON HER OWN
NOW SHES IN NEW YORK ON THE WEST SIDE
WAS A WILD RIDE
LATELY SHES BEEN HAVING THIS STRANGE DREAM
SHE CANT BE SURE EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS
EACH DAY SHE WAKES TO SING THIS SONG
GUESS ITS BEEN TOO LONG, SHE SINGS
chorus
SAN ANTONIO I WANT TO SEE YOUR SMILING FACES
FEEL YOUR SUNNY DAYS
SAN ANTONIO NO MATTER WHERE I ROAM
YOULL ALWAYS BE MY HOME
JIMMYS IN THE NAVY HIS WHOLE LIFE
ITS BEEN TEN MONTHS SINCE HE KISSED HIS WIFE
HES SLEEPING ON A SHIP OUT ON THE SEA
HELPS US STAY FREE
NOW JIMMY KNOWS JUST WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO
THE PHONE CALLS BARELY HELP HIM THROUGH
HE HEARS THAT VOICE CALLING HIM HOME
BACK TO SAN ANTONE HE SINGS
chorus
SAN ANTONIO I WANT TO SEE YOUR SMILING FACES
FEEL YOUR SUNNY DAYS
SAN ANTONIO NO MATTER WHERE I ROAM
YOULL ALWAYS BE MY HOME
Break
SAN ANTONIO SAN ANTONIO
THE RIVERWALK THE ALAMO
HOME SWEET HOME I NEED TO GO
SAN ANTONIO SAN ANTONIO
chorus
SAN ANTONIO I WANT TO SEE YOUR SMILING FACES
FEEL YOUR SUNNY DAYS
SAN ANTONIO NO MATTER WHERE I ROAM
YOULL ALWAYS BE MY HOME
