Lyrics

Lookin' outta my windowpane
 Tears minglin' with the rain
 I'm so lonesome I could cry, just like old Hank
 Starin' down on the city street
 Feelin' empty and incomplete
 There's a place I need to be to fill my tank
 A place I can go where I can be free
 Where I can be happy and just be me
 Home
 Where the warm wind's blowin'
 And the river's flowin' along
 Like a lazy bum in the midday sun
 And I've gone fishin' with my pole at the fishin' hole
 Where I can lay down my heavy load
 And know that I am always welcome home
 
 I left home I was seventeen
 I had a lot of ambitious dreams
 Seen a lot of those dreams come true
 I've had good luck
 I ain't complain' that's for sure
 I got a lot to be thankful for
 One of those things is a magic door that opens up
 Back to the time when I was a kid
 To the sounds of the crickets and the katydids
 It's called
 Home
 On the front porch swingin'
 And the fern pots hangin'
 Home
 With the church bells ringin'
 And voices singin' those
 Old songs that mend my mind like a stitch in time
 Where the tea is sweet and the love complete
 Oh me, I wanna go home
 I often think about where I have been
 Where I am goin' and that's about when I think about
 Home
 Where the soul finds comfort and the heart finds pleasure
 Home
 Where the depths of love is hard to measure
 It's home
 I hear you callin', I hear you callin'
 I'll never be lost as long as I know
 There's place like that where I can go
 Where I can restore my weary soul
 On the mountain slopes and the soft blue smoke
 Of home
 Home sweet home
 Home
 Back to the hills with the whippoorwills of
 Home
 With the fireflies blinkin' and the night stars winkin'
 Home
 Honeysuckle vine and Muscadine wine at
 Home
 Where the ginseng grows in the shady groves of
 Home
 With family and friends and joy that never ends
 Home
 There's no place like it, no place like it
 Home
