Always My Home

Story Behind The Song

All my childhood and teenage years were spent in the South, so all my memories from those years take place there. The south has an ugly history, but there is so much good about it that I felt I needed to get that across in a song. My memories are tied to the geographical beauty of the south. Some of my fondest memories take place in the woods, creeks, grass fields, and beaches of the south. For that reason, I'll always call the South my home.

Lyrics

ALWAYS MY HOME
BY STEVE W. BROWN
VERSE 1
I WAS BORN AND RAISED WHERE THE DIRT IS RED
WHERE PINE TREES TOWERED OVER MY HEAD.
IT?S A PLACE WITH A TROUBLED PAST
WHERE THE HONEYSUCKLES GROW AND THE LIGHTNIN? BUGS FLASH.

(CHORUS)
NO MATTER WHERE I HANG MY HAT
NO MATTER HOW FAR I ROAM-
THE SOUTH WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART
THE SOUTH WILL ALWAYS BE MY HOME.

VERSE 2
NOW I?M LEANING ON A MEMORY SWEET
OF GREEN, GREEN GRASS RUNNING UNDER MY FEET.
AND WADING DOWN A WINDING CREEK
OR RUNNING THROUGH THE WOODS PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK.

REPEAT CHORUS

(BRIDGE)
THOUGH I MAY NEVER LIVE
IN THE SOUTH AGAIN-
I?LL CARRY THE MEMORY OF THIS PLACE
WITH ME ?TIL THE END.

VERSE 3
WE?VE GOT RIVERS THAT RUN INTO THE SEA
AND TIME MARCHES ON MOVING AT GOD?S SPEED.
WE?VE GOT MOUNTAINS, VALLEYS AND BAYOUS AND SUCH
BARBECUE AND BEACHES WILL LOVE SO MUCH.

REPEAT CHORUS

(CHORUS AD LIB)
THE SOUTH WILL ALWAYS BE?MY HOME, MY HOME, MY HOME.
YES THE SOUTH WILL ALWAYS BE?MY HOME.

END.
