Home Lyrics - Joe Diffie

The only the thing I see ahead, is just the heat a rising off the road 

The rainbows I've been chasing keep on fading before I find my pot 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 of home 

Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole 

And the feel of a muddy row 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 

Now the miles I put behind me ain't as hard as the miles that lay ahead 

And it's way too late to listen to the words of wisdom that my daddy said 

But the straight and narrow path he showed me 

Turned into a thousand winding roads 

My footsteps carry me away 

But in my mind I'm always going home 

Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole 

And the feel of a muddy row 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 

The straight and narrow path he showed me 

Turned into a thousand winding roads 

My footsteps carry me away 

But in my mind I'm always going home
