Where I Call Home

__________________________________________________

I drove through the old neighborhood the other day

Was this my home or just a place I stayed

Nothing looked the same but it all remembered me

The spirits were all there just wrapped around my feet

I came from here these are my roots

I lived and loved in my hand me down shoes (old worn out – cowboy boots)

We played in the yards until the street lights came on

I (guess, think, know) this is where I call home

We lived in a house that mom and daddy built

Never had that much but momma sewed us quilts

Daddy would come home from work everyday

We’d look through his lunch pail before we went to play

I came from here these are my roots

I lived and loved in my hand me down shoes (old worn out – cowboy boots)

We played in the yards until the street lights came on

I (guess, think, know) this is where I call home

We sat at the table to hold hands and pray

Daddy’s belt and momma’s hand kept things their way

Somehow I knew it would never be the same

I came from here these are my roots

I lived and loved in my hand me down shoes (old worn out – cowboy boots)

We played in the yards until the street lights came on

I (guess, think, know) this is where I call home

Got my first car a ’65 Mustang

Had my first kiss oh my was it strange

There’s a lot of things that happened over the years

Drinking out of a hose was not what we feared

I came from here these are my roots

I lived and loved in my hand me down shoes (old worn out – cowboy boots)

We played in the yards until the streetlights came on

I (guess, think, know) this is where I call home
