Home In My Heart Lyrics
(Rodney Crowell/Claudia Church)I remember waking upRunning down a dirt roadMorning dew a shinin', watermelon by the wagon loadLittle baby brother and my sisters in the shadeListening to the crickets and the music that they madeRiding on a tractor with my granpa in the summertimeCold bologna sandwich, green tomatoes on the garden vineBilly Joe McMillan was the first boy that I ever knewhe moved to California and it broke my heart in...North Carolina...your pine trees so tallYour hills and your valleys, your cool waterfallsYour Blue Ridge MountainsYour fields and your streamsAre lost on the back roads that run through my dreamsOf North Carolina...Home in my heartSkinny legs and barefoot on the top of an abandoned carPouring out my heart just like a country music singing starPinecone for a microphoneFull moon for a spotlightShining down from heaven, like it's smiling on meNorth Carolina...your pine trees so tallYour hills and your valleys, your cool waterfallsYour Blue Ridge MountainsYour fields and your streamsAre lost on the back roads that run through my dreamsOf North Carolina...Home in my heartAlthough it seems like yesterdayI'm still a million miles awayGoing to the ocean in my uncle's new sedanDaddy's in the Army, there's a war in VietnamMama kept us going with her sewing and a prayerIt's hard to be a family when your daddy's missingNorth Carolina...your pine trees so tallYour hills and your valleys, your cool waterfallsYour Blue Ridge MountainsYour fields and your streamsAre lost on the back roads that run through my dreamsOf North Carolina...Home in my heartHome in my heartHome in my heart
