Karaoké Home Joe Diffie

The only thing I see ahead is just the heat arisin' 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 fishin' 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 goin' home

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

And its 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 windin' roads

My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm always goin' home

Home was a swimmin' hole and a fishin' 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 goin' home

The straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a thousand windin' roads

My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm always goin' home
