Song Description

Sometimes home, family, and your roots is exactly what you need to find clarification in life.

Lyrics

At the end of a road there's a little white house

surrounded by fields recently plowed

a climbing tree grows in the front of the yard

the mantel is covered with old birthday cards



the fridge is a magnet for grandchildren's art

a wall measures growth in black pencil mark

there's a worn out couch and rug that don't match

and a swinging screen door that never gets latched



And it's home where I need to be

Back in the town I was in such a hurry to leave

Never felt so broke, felt so lost, felt like the world's been changing me

Need a seat on a porch with a view

of nothing but the memories



Mama was simple didn't need much herself

spent most of her money on everyone else

Daddy was happy to live that way too

He's honest and kind--one of the proud and the few





And he's home where I need to be

Back in the town I was in such a hurry to leave

Never felt so broke, felt so lost, felt like the world's been changing me

Need a seat on a porch with a view

of nothing but the memories



You know money and values don't go hand in hand

a rich bank account isn't proof of a man

a good woman's love; kids that return is what's

precious in life-- a lesson I've learned.



Going home where I need to be

Back in the town I was in such a hurry to leave

gonna fix what's broke, find what's lost, make the change that I wanna see

from a seat on a porch with a view

of nothing but the memories



Yea home's where I need to be

Back in the town I was in such a hurry to leave

Now I ain't so broke, ain't so lost, ain't gonna let the world change me

Got a seat on a porch with a view

of nothing but the memories
