[Dolly Parton - Home lyrics]
Looking out of my window pane
Tears mingling with the rain
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Just like old Hank
Staring down on the city street
Feeling empty and incomplete
There's a place I need to be to fill my tank
A place I can go where I can be free
Where I can be happy and just be me
Home where the warm wind's blowing
And the river's flowing along
Like a lazy bum in the mid day sun
And I've gone fishin' with my
Pole at the fishin' hole
Where I can lay down my heavy load
And know that I am always welcome home
I left home, I was 17
I had a lot of ambitious dreams
Seen a lot of those dreams come true
I've had good luck
I ain't complaining, that's for sure
I got a lot to be thankful for
One of those things is a
Magic door that opens up
Back to the time when I was a kid
To the sound of the crickets and the katydids
It's called
Home on the front porch swinging
And fern pots hanging home
With the church bells ringing
And voices singing those
Old songs that mend my mind
Like a stitch in time
Where the tea is sweet and the love complete
Oh me, I wanna go home
I often think about where I have been
Where I am going and that's
About when I think about
Home where the soul find comfort
And the heart find pleasure home
Where the depths of love is hard to measure
It's home
I hear you callin' i hear you callin'
I'll never be lost as long as I know
There's a place like that where I can go
Where I can restore my weary soul
On the mountain slopes of
The south "Blue Smoke" of home
Home sweet home
Home, back to the hills
Of the Whip-poor-wills
Home, with the fireflies blinking
And the night stars winkin'
Home, honeysuckle vine and muscadine wine at
Home, where the ginseng grows in
The shady groves of
Home, with family and friends and
Joy that never ends
Home, there's no place like it
No place like it home
Tears mingling with the rain
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Just like old Hank
Staring down on the city street
Feeling empty and incomplete
There's a place I need to be to fill my tank
A place I can go where I can be free
Where I can be happy and just be me
Home where the warm wind's blowing
And the river's flowing along
Like a lazy bum in the mid day sun
And I've gone fishin' with my
Pole at the fishin' hole
Where I can lay down my heavy load
And know that I am always welcome home
I left home, I was 17
I had a lot of ambitious dreams
Seen a lot of those dreams come true
I've had good luck
I ain't complaining, that's for sure
I got a lot to be thankful for
One of those things is a
Magic door that opens up
Back to the time when I was a kid
To the sound of the crickets and the katydids
It's called
Home on the front porch swinging
And fern pots hanging home
With the church bells ringing
And voices singing those
Old songs that mend my mind
Like a stitch in time
Where the tea is sweet and the love complete
Oh me, I wanna go home
I often think about where I have been
Where I am going and that's
About when I think about
Home where the soul find comfort
And the heart find pleasure home
Where the depths of love is hard to measure
It's home
I hear you callin' i hear you callin'
I'll never be lost as long as I know
There's a place like that where I can go
Where I can restore my weary soul
On the mountain slopes of

Home sweet home

Home, there's no place like it
No place like it home
