THE ONLY THING

I SEE AHEAD

IS JUST THE HEAT

A RISIN'

OFF THE ROAD

THE RAINBOWS

I'VE BEEN CHASIN'

KEEP ON FADIN'

BEFORE I FIND MY POT

OF GOLD

AND MORE AND MORE

I'M THINKIN'

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

SWIMMIN' HOLE

AND A FISHING POLE

AND THE FEEL OF THE

MUDDY ROAD

BETWEEN MY TOES

HOME WAS A

BACK PORCH SWING

WHERE I WOULD SIT

AND MAMA'D 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 GOIN' HOME

NOW THE MILES

I'VE 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

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 GOIN' HOME

HOME WAS A

SWIMMIN' HOLE

AND A FISHING POLE

AND THE FEEL OF THE

MUDDY ROAD

BETWEEN MY TOES

HOME WAS A

BACK PORCH SWING

WHERE I WOULD SIT

AND MAMA'D 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 GOIN' 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 GOIN' HOME
