capo 1 — sounds a semitone higherIntro
Verse 1
The only thing I see ahead is
just the heat a rising off the road
The rainbows I've been chasing keep on
fading before I find my pot of gold
And more and more I'm thinking, that the only treasures
that I'll ever know
Are long ago and far behind wrapped up in my
memories of home
Chorus
Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole
and the feel of a muddy road between my toes
Home was a back porch swing where I would sit
and mom would sing Amazing Grace
While she hung out the clothes
Home was an easy chair with my daddy there
and the smell of Sunday supper on the stove
My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm
always going home
Verse 2
Now the miles I put behind me ain't as
hard as the miles that lay ahead
And it's way too late to listen to the
words of wisdom that my daddy said
The straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a
thousand winding roads
My footsteps carry me away, but in my mind I'm
always going home
Chorus
Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole
and the feel of a muddy road between my toes
Home was a back porch swing where I would sit
and mom would sing Amazing Grace
While she hung out the clothes
Home was an easy chair with my daddy there
and the smell of Sunday supper on the stove
My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm
always going home
Outro
The straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a
thousand winding roads
My footsteps carry me away, but in my mind I'm
always going home
