Home Lyrics by Dolly Parton

0:12Lookin' outta my windowpane

0:15Tears minglin' with the rain

0:17I'm so lonesome I could cry, just like old Hank

0:22Starin' down on the city street

0:25Feelin' empty and incomplete

0:28There's a place I need to be to fill my tank

0:33A place I can go where I can be free

0:36Where I can be happy and just be me

0:39Home

0:41Where the warm wind's blowin'

0:42And the river's flowin' along

0:46Like a lazy bum in the midday sun

0:49And I've gone fishin' with my pole at the fishin' hole

0:54Where I can lay down my heavy load

0:57And know that I am always welcome home

1:03♪

1:05I left home I was seventeen

1:08I had a lot of ambitious dreams

1:11Seen a lot of those dreams come true

1:13I've had good luck

1:16I ain't complain' that's for sure

1:19I got a lot to be thankful for

1:21One of those things is a magic door that opens up

1:26Back to the time when I was a kid

1:29To the sounds of the crickets and the katydids

1:31It's called

1:32Home

1:34On the front porch swingin'

1:36And the fern pots hangin'

1:37Home

1:39With the church bells ringin'

1:41And voices singin' those

1:43Old songs that mend my mind like a stitch in time

1:48Where the tea is sweet and the love complete

1:50Oh me, I wanna go home

1:59I often think about where I have been

2:03Where I am goin' and that's about when I think about

2:09Home

2:11Where the soul finds comfort and the heart finds pleasure

2:15Home

2:17Where the depths of love is hard to measure

2:20It's home

2:22I hear you callin', I hear you callin'

2:25I'll never be lost as long as I know

2:27There's place like that where I can go

2:30Where I can restore my weary soul

2:33On the mountain slopes and the soft blue smoke

2:36Of home

2:40Home sweet home

2:42Home

2:49Back to the hills with the whippoorwills of

2:52Home

2:54With the fireflies blinkin' and the night stars winkin'

2:57Home

2:59Honeysuckle vine and Muscadine wine at

3:03Home

3:05Where the ginseng grows in the shady groves of

3:08Home

3:10With family and friends and joy that never ends

3:13Home

3:15There's no place like it, no place like it

3:19Home

3:19♪
