Does anybody have the words to a song that I heared Bonnie Raitt sing which goes - Home sings me of sweet things. It may or may not be a Bonnie Raitt song , but it's definitely gorgeous.

From HERE.

HOME

Travelin' at night the headlights were bright
And we'd been up many an hour
All through my brain came the refrain
Of home and it's warmin' fire

Chorus:
And home sings me of sweet things
My life there has its own wings
Fly over the mountain
Though I'm standin' still

The people I've seen they come in between
The cities of tiring light
And the trains come and go but inside you know
The struggle'll soon be a fight

Chorus

Travelin' at night the headlights were bright
And soon the sun came through the trees
Around the next bend the flowers will send
The sweet smell of home in the breeze

Chorus

~Masato

"Home" was a must-do song for female bluegrass vocalists twenty or so years ago. I know that the band I was playing with then (with female lead vocals) did it. Seems like I recall some of the big names like Claire Lynch, The Whites, and maybe even Emmylou doing it back then. Don't quote be on that though, 'cause there's still a lotta fog (courtesy of Busch Breweries, the nation of Colombia and a couple of pharmaceutical companies) surrounding my recollection of those years.

Are you possibly thinking of Randy Newman's song from "Michael" that Bonnie Raitt Sings?-

"Seems Like Home To Me" is the title
