Joe Diffie lyrics - Home

album: Thousand Winding Roads (1990)
album: Greatest Hits (1998)
album: Essential Joe Diffie (2003)
genre:

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 
But more and more I'm thinking, that the only treasures that I'll ever know 
Are long ago and far behind and 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 its much to late to listen to the words of wisdom that my daddy said 
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 

Yeah, 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.
