Verse 1
I was born where the river meets the pine,
Fields of golden wheat under skies so wide,
Mama’s voice was singing through the summer air,
Every time I’m lost, I still find her there.
Chorus
Home is the place where my heart belongs,
Where love is steady, where life feels strong,
Through every mile, through all I’ve known,
I keep on dreaming of that old red home.
Verse 2
By the porch I carved our names in the wood,
We were young and wild, but our love was good,
Stars above were brighter than the city lights,
We were holding hands through the southern nights.
Chorus
Home is the place where my heart belongs,
Where love is steady, where life feels strong,
Through every mile, through all I’ve known,
I keep on dreaming of that old red home.
Verse 3
I’ve seen highways stretching far and wide,
But I carry that town deep inside,
Every dusty road, every sunset glow,
Leads me back to where the sweet winds blow.
Chorus
Home is the place where my heart belongs,
Where love is steady, where life feels strong,
Through every mile, through all I’ve known,
I keep on dreaming of that old red home.
Verse 4
Now I stand with you by that same old door,
Love has grown much stronger than it was before,
With our children laughing in the evening haze,
I thank the Lord for these simple days.
Chorus (final)
Home is the place where my heart belongs,
Where love is steady, where life feels strong,
Through every mile, through all I’ve known,
I found my heaven in that old red home.
