Lyrics

HOME IN MY HEART

1) I'm passin' by the silhouettes of the mountains, across the early mornin' sky,
The sun ain't up, but the mist is climbin' through the trees, and it all reminds me why,

(chorus)
I'm going home in my heart (2x)
No matter where I am in this whole wide world,
My family and my friends and that special girl,
Take me home in my heart.

2) Well, I just wrapped up another gig, and I broke a few strings tryin' to pick that thing,
It sure felt good to make a few new friends, and it sure felt good to shake a few new hands,
But I can't wait to get back again to that place of which I'm part.

3) Well, I'm just like an old hound dog, hangin' out on the porch,
Well, you sure can't tell just where I've been, and you sure as hell don't know what I've seen,
But when I go away, I'm comin' back again to the place where I did start.

(repeat chorus)

(bridge)
Everybody needs some brave and strong, facing the unknown.
Everybody needs to have someone, to share their comfort zone.
Everybody needs to have some love, nobody should be alone.
Everybody needs to find their place, everybody needs a home,

(repeat chorus)

(second version of chorus)
Yeah, I'm walkin' home in my heart, I'm drivin', I'm flyin' home in my heart.
I'm gonna get there any way I can, cause I sure don't like to be a lonely man,
I'm goin' home in my heart.

(bridge)
Everybody needs some brave and strong, facing the unknown.
Everybody needs to have someone, to share their comfort zone.
Everybody needs to have some love, nobody should be alone.
Everybody needs to find their place, everybody needs a home.
