Home (made popular by Joe Diffie) [vocal version]

The only thing I see in here

Is just the heat horizon on the road

The rainbows I've been chasing

Keep on fading before I find my heart of gold

And more and more I'm thinking

That the only treasures that I'll ever know

Are long ago and far behind

Wrapped up in my memories and home

Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole

And the feel of a muddy road between my toes

Home was a back porch swing where I would sit

And mom would sing

Amazing grace while she hung out the clothes

Home was an easy chair with my daddy there

And the smell of sunday supper on the stove

My footsteps carry me

Away my mind I'm always going home

Now the miles I put behind me

Ain't it hard to pass the miles that laid ahead

And it's way too late to listen to

The words of wisdom that my daddy said

The straight and narrow path

You showed me turned into a thousand winding roads

My footsteps carry me away

And in my mind I'm always going home

Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole

And the feel of a muddy road between my toes

Home was a back porch swing where I would sit

And mom would sing

Amazing grace while she hung out the clothes

Home was an easy chair with my daddy there

And the smell of sunday supper on the stove

My footsteps carry me

Away but in my mind I'm always going home

Straight and narrow path you showed me

Turn into a thousand winding roads

My footsteps carry me

Away but in my mind I'm always going home
