[00:06.76]The only thing I see ahead
[00:09.40]Is just the heat arising off the road
[00:15.97]The rainbows I've been chasing
[00:17.83]Keep on fading
[00:19.26]Before I find my pot of gold
[00:23.36]And more and more I'm thinking
[00:27.51]That's the only treasure that I'll ever know
[00:33.29]Are long ago and when far behind
[00:37.23]Wrapped up in my memories of home
[00:42.82]Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole-
[00:47.57]And the feel of a muddy row between my toes
[00:53.02]Home was a back porch swing where I would sit-
[00:58.53]And mom would sing Amazing Grace
[01:02.94]While she hung out the clothes
[01:06.23]Home was an easy chair with my daddy there
[01:12.29]And the smell of Sunday supper on the stove
[01:18.39]My footsteps carry me away, but in my mind I'm always going home
[01:27.69]Now the miles I put behind me ain't as hard
[01:35.56]As the miles that lay ahead
[01:38.76]And it's way too late to listen-
[01:42.73]To the words of wisdom that my Daddy said
[01:48.24]The straight and narrow path he showed me
[01:52.24]Turned into a thousand winding roads
[01:58.02]My footsteps carry me away
[02:01.27]But in my mind I'm always going home
[02:08.58]Home was a swimming hole
[02:10.20]And a fishing pole
[02:11.84]And the feel of a muddy row between my toes
[02:18.00]Home was a back porch swing
[02:21.48]Where I would sit
[02:22.96]And Mom would sing "Amazing Grace"
[02:28.97]While she hung out the clothes
[02:32.37]Home was an easy chair with my Daddy there
[02:36.63]And the smell of Sunday supper on the stove
[02:42.30]My footsteps carry me away
[02:46.33]But in my mind I'm always going home
[02:50.80]Yeah, the straight and narrow path he showed me
[02:55.12]Turned into a thousand winding roads
[03:00.93]My footsteps carry me away
[03:04.34]But in my mind I'm always going home
