Verse 1

The only the thing I see ahead is

just the heat a rising 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 knoow

Are long ago and far behind and wrapped up in my

memories o

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 sto-ve

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

always going home

Verse 2

Now the miles I put behind me ain't as

 ard as the miles that lay ahead

And its much to 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 ro-oads,

My footsteps carry me away, but in my mind I'm

always going home.

Repeat Chorus (then add)

Yeah, the straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a

thousand winding ro-oads,

My footsteps carry me away, but in my mind I'm

always going home.
