Lyrics
The Road That Leads Me Home
(Allison/Newell/Rea)
Christmas lights on an old oak tree
An evening sky made just for me
A rested mule and a busted plow
When I need to feel better i know just how.
The road to my salvation
leads to where I came from
the road that leads me home
The road that leads me....home
The cricket's song for the lightning bug
The healing power of a mothers love
All the most important things
Are said between a rocking chair and an old porch swing.
The road to my salvation
leads to where I came from
the road that leads me home
The road that me...home
Home
When my heart gets heavy
when I'm on my own
When living alright
gets to feeling all wrong.
When my mind needs somewhere safe to go
It winds on down that gravel
The road to my salvation
I know just where I came from
the road that leads me home
The road that leads me...home
Home
