Home In My Heart (north Carolina) Lyrics

(Rodney Crowell/Claudia Church)



I remember waking up

Running down a
dirt road

Morning dew a shinin', watermelon by the wagon load

Little
baby brother and my sisters in the shade

Listening to the crickets and the
music that they made

Riding on a tractor with my granpa in the
summertime

Cold bologna sandwich, green tomatoes on the garden
vine

Billy Joe McMillan was the first boy that I ever knew

he moved to
California and it broke my heart in...



North Carolina...your pine
trees so tall

Your hills and your valleys, your cool waterfalls

Your
Blue Ridge Mountains

Your fields and your streams

Are lost on the back
roads that run through my dreams

Of North Carolina...Home in my
heart



Skinny legs and barefoot on the top of an abandoned
car

Pouring out my heart just like a country music singing
star

Pinecone for a microphone

Full moon for a spotlight

Shining
down from heaven, like it's smiling on me



North Carolina...your pine
trees so tall

Your hills and your valleys, your cool waterfalls

Your
Blue Ridge Mountains

Your fields and your streams

Are lost on the back
roads that run through my dreams

Of North Carolina...Home in my
heart



Although it seems like yesterday

I'm still a million miles
away

Going to the ocean in my uncle's new sedan

Daddy's in the Army,
there's a war in Vietnam

Mama kept us going with her sewing and a
prayer

It's hard to be a family when your daddy's missing



North
Carolina...your pine trees so tall

Your hills and your valleys, your cool
waterfalls

Your Blue Ridge Mountains

Your fields and your
streams

Are lost on the back roads that run through my dreams

Of North
Carolina...Home in my heart



Home in my heart

Home in my heart
