Home

Packed my bags, one suitcase and a dream Left my name carved in the old oak tree Mama stood there with tears in her eyes Said, go chase the sky, baby, spread your light Drove past the diner, past the football field Everything I knew felt so unreal, yeah Took that highway, chased the setting sun Didn't know where I'd go, just knew I had to run Every mile I go, I hear that voice Telling me I always got a choice No matter how far, no matter how wide Home is the place I keep inside Home is where my heart still beats Where my roots run deep beneath my feet Where the front porch light still shines for me No matter how far, I'll always believe Home is in the way I speak In the lullabies still sung off-key Though the world may change and I may roam I know I'll always find my way back home Big city lights, they shine real bright But they don't feel like fireflies at night, yeah People rush, don't even say hello It ain't like the town where everybody knows Made mistakes, lost my way Got caught up in things I swore I'd never say, yeah But every road led me back to the start No matter where I go, I carry home in my heart Every mile I go, I hear that voice Telling me I always got a choice No matter how far, no matter how wide Home is the place I keep inside Home is where my heart still beats Where my roots run deep beneath my feet Where the front porch light still shines for me No matter how far, I'll always believe Home is in the way I speak In the lullabies still sung off-key Though the world may change and I may roam I know I'll always find my way back home Ooh, no matter how far I go Ooh, it's the place that shaped my soul Through the highs, through the lows I know one thing for sure Home is where my heart still beats Where my roots run deep beneath my feet Where the front porch light still shines for me No matter how far, I'll always believe Home is in the way I speak In the lullabies still sung off-key Though the world may change and I may roam I know I'll always find my way back home Home is the love I'll always know No matter how far, it's where I'll go Through every journey, through every road Home is in my heart, it's in my soul
