Artist/Band: Diffie Joe
Lyrics for Song:HOME
Lyrics for Album: Greatest Hits

1. The only the thing I see ahead is just the heat arising 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.

CHORUS: 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.

2. Now the miles I put behind me ain't as hard as the miles that lay ahead;
And it’s much 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 going home.

CHORUS

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.
