Home And Things

Lyrics

Never thought I'd miss that little old shack where I was born Never thought I'd miss that little hick town But then I never thought I'd wander quite this far away Or my dreams would get turned quite this upside down Home and things are heavy on my mind tonight and I'd fly south if only I had wings This big old world can make you miss the simple life you used to live Oh what I'd give to just see home and things Things like my mama coolin' off her applepies and the window sill And dryin' her washin' on a limb from a hickory tree Things like my daddy takin' his lunch to work in a paper sack And tellin' all of his buddies how proud he is of me Things like the preacher standin' in the pulpit early on Sunday morning Preachin' to the sinners and leadin' everybody in a prayer Oh the sun was yellow and the grass was green And the folks they were warm and friendly And your soul could take a good deep breath of God's fresh air Home and things are heavy on my mind tonight and I'd fly south if only I had wings This big old world can make you miss the simple life you used to live Oh what I'd give to just see home and things Home and things are heavy on my mind tonight
