Montgomery Gentry featuring Eddie Montgomery
⌖ Susan Knapp Amphitheater
Home Run opens with the working class anthem “Cost Of Being Me,” which features Bryan, a labelmate that Montgomery described as being “cut from the same cloth.” In the down-to-earth chorus, Montgomery sings, “I drink my whiskey from the well/ My souls for loan but ain’t for sale/ I've had my daddy pay my bail/ That kind of hell just don't come cheap/ If I had half of what I lost/ I'd be just a little bit better off/ I've paid a lot for being free … Yeah, that's the cost of being me.” The EP continues with the title track, a song about knowing how to find home when it matters most. Gorley, a fellow native of Danville, Kentucky, co-wrote the song.
