Home In My Heart Lyrics - Singles - Claudia Church

I remember waking up, running down a dirt road 

Morning dew a shining, watermelon by the wagon load 

Little baby brother and my sisters in the shade 

Listening to the crickets and the music that they made 

Riding on a tractor with my grandpa in the summertime 

Cold bologna sandwich, green tomatoes on the garden vine 

Billy Joe McMillan was the first boy that I ever knew 

He moved to California and it broke my heart in 

North Carolina, your pine trees so tall 

Your hills and valleys, your cool waterfalls 

Your Blue Ridge Mountains, your fields and your streams 

Are lost on the back roads that run through my dreams 

Of North Carolina, home in my heart 

Skinny legs and barefoot on the top of an abandoned car 

Pouring out my heart just like a country music singing star 

Pine cone for a microphone, full moon for a spotlight 

Shining down from heaven like it's smiling on me 

North Carolina, your pine trees so tall 

Your hills and valleys, your cool waterfalls 

Your Blue Ridge Mountains, your fields and your streams 

Are lost on the back roads that run through my dreams 

Of North Carolina, home in my heart 

Although it seems like yesterday, I'm still a million miles away 

Going to the ocean in my uncle's new sedan 

Daddy's in the Army, there's a war in Vietnam 

Mama kept us going with her sewing and a prayer 

It's hard to be a family when your daddy's missing 

North Carolina, your pine trees so tall 

Your hills and valleys, your cool waterfalls 

Your Blue Ridge Mountains, your fields and your streams 

Are lost on the back roads that run through my dreams 

Of North Carolina, home in my heart 

Home in my heart 

Home in my heart
