Standard (EADGBE)

Mama's got her apron on standin in the kitchen

cookin up my favorite dish, whatever she is fixin

Daddy's in a picture in a frame that's always sittin by the phone

Dafodils are poppin up out behind the clothesline

Underneath that tree I planted when I was just a boy of 9

Man I never can believe just how much its grown when I go

Chorus

Home, back home

To the gentle place that held me close, as I became a man

 And the streets are all familiar and an old friend shakes my hand, And I feel

Fine, so fine

Yeah knowing that this road I'm wandering on

From time to time always leads me home.

Brother he'll be waitin with the latest from the grapevine sayin

Man you won't believe them stories bout those crazy friends of mine

And all them little scandals, that a small town can't seem to leave alone

Later on we'll sit around bellies tight from supper

Tellin all them stories that we just can't get enough of

And somewhere in an honest laugh, it'll finally hit me that I'm...

Chorus

Home, back home

Where the memories all have gathered up and slowly turned to gold

 And I've carried them along with me where ever I may go,And I feel

Fine, so fine

Yeah knowing that this road I'm wandering on

From time to time always leads me home.

Instrumental

 And I go and put some flowers down at daddy's stone

 And I see that empty space beside him, it always makes me glad

That I came

Chorus

Home, back home

Where the Bible is the Bible and the angels get their wings

 And the circle is unbroken, when I hear them church bells ring and I feel

Fine, you know I feel so fine

Yeah knowing that this road I'm wandering on

From time to time unwinds, across the rivers through the pines

 And leads me home.
