Take Me Home

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…
