1. Strophe
Gb Ab Db
The only thing I see ahead is just the heat a-rising off the road,
Ab Bbm Gb
the rainbows I've been chasing keep on fading
Ab Db
before I find my pot of gold.
Gb
And more and more I'm thinking,
Db Bbm
that the only treasures that I'll ever know,
Db Ab7 Db
are long ago and far behind, wrapped up in my memories at home.
1. Refrain
Gb
Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole,
Db
and the feel of the muddy road between my toes.
Gb
Home was a back porch swing where I would sit,
Db
and mom would sing Amazing Grace,
Ab
while she hung out the clothes.
Gb
Home was an easy chair with my daddy there,
Db Bbm
and the smell of Sunday supper on the stove.
Db Ab7 Db A
My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm always going home.
2. Strophe
D
Now the miles I've put behind me
G A D
ain't as hard as the miles that lay ahead.
A Bm
And it's way too late to listen
G A D
to the words of wisdom that my daddy said.
G
The straight and narrow path he showed me
D Bm
turned into a thousand winding roads.
D A7 D
My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm always going home.

Home was an easy chair with my daddy there,

My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm always going home.

The straight and narrow path he showed me
