Left my hometown many years ago, chased the lights and the rain
Carried a heavy backpack and an even heavier heart
No matter how loud I laugh in this city, it still feels empty inside
That old dirt road keeps calling me back in my dreams at night
Take me home, take me home
To the winding dirt road where the wildflowers grow
Mama’s kitchen light, Daddy’s old front porch swing
Take me home, take me home
No matter how far I roam, that’s where I belong
City streets are crowded but I’ve never felt more alone
Miss the smell of rice fields after the summer rain
Barefoot running through the mud, chasing fireflies till the dark
Now I got everything I thought I wanted… but I miss who I was
Take me home, take me home
Let me hear the river sing and the old dogs bark
Even if my hands get rough and my hair turns gray
Take me home, take me home
I just wanna lay my head where my heart never strayed
And when my time comes, lay me down beneath that old oak tree
Let the wind blow through these tired bones and carry me
Back where I belong, back where I was free
Take me home… take me home…
I don’t care how broken I am, just carry me
Take me home… take me home…
Lord, I’m coming home at last…
