Home In My Heart lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Home In My Heart lyrics (Rodney Crowell/Claudia Church) I remember waking up Running down a dirt road Morning dew a shinin , watermelon by the wagon load Little baby brother and my sisters in the shade Listening to the crickets and the music that they made Riding on a tractor with my granpa in the summertime Cold bologna sandwich, green tomatoes on the garden vine Billy Joe McMillan was the first boy that I ever knew he moved to California and it broke my heart in... North Carolina...your pine trees so tall Your hills and your valleys, your cool waterfalls Your Blue Ridge Mountains Your fields and your streams Are lost on the back roads that run through my dreams Of North Carolina...Home in my heart Skinny legs and barefoot on the top of an abandoned car Pouring out my heart just like a country music singing star Pinecone for a microphone Full moon for a spotlight Shining down from heaven, like it s smiling on me North Carolina...your pine trees so tall Your hills and your valleys, your cool waterfalls Your Blue Ridge Mountains Your fields and your streams Are lost on the back roads that run through my dreams Of North Carolina...Home in my heart Although it seems like yesterday I m still a million miles away Going to the ocean in my uncle s new sedan Daddy s in the Army, there s a war in Vietnam Mama kept us going with her sewing and a prayer It s hard to be a family when your daddy s missing North Carolina...your pine trees so tall Your hills and your valleys, your cool waterfalls Your Blue Ridge Mountains Your fields and your streams Are lost on the back roads that run through my dreams Of North Carolina...Home in my heart Home in my heart Home in my heart song lyrics
