[Intro, Fingerpicked Acoustic Guitar, Soft Fiddle]
(Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm)
(Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm)
[Verse 1]
The wind rolls in through the open plains
Dust on my boots, memories in chains
Sunset fades where the wheat fields grow
But my heart still walks those roads I know
[Chorus, Harmonic Layers]
I miss the porch where the stories flowed
Mama’s voice in that gentle tone
The creek that sang me off to sleep
And stars that whispered secrets deep
No matter how far I roam
I miss my home
[Verse 2]
City lights can’t hold the flame
Of fireflies and childhood games
I chase a dream, but lose the day
Wish I could turn this road halfway
[Chorus]
I miss the porch where the stories flowed
Mama’s voice in that gentle tone
The creek that sang me off to sleep
And stars that whispered secrets deep
No matter how far I roam
I miss my home
[Bridge, Slow Fiddle and Harmonic Guitar]
One day I’ll follow that river's bend
Where longing breaks and journeys end
And find the gate that creaks just right
With Mama waiting in the light
[Chorus, Full Harmony]
I miss the porch where the stories flowed
Mama’s voice in that gentle tone
The creek that sang me off to sleep
And stars that whispered secrets deep
No matter how far I roam
I miss my home
[Outro, Fading Instrumental, Whispered Harmony]
No matter how far I roam
I miss my home
