Lookin' outta my windowpane Tears minglin' with the rain I'm so lonesome I could cry, just like old Hank Starin' down on the city street Feelin' empty and incomplete There's a place I need to be to fill my tank A place I can go where I can be free Where I can be happy and I just be me Ho-o-ome Where the warm wind's blowin' and the river's flowin' along Like a lazy bum in the midday sun And I've gone fishin' with my pole at the fishin' hole Where I can lay down my heavy load And know that I am always welcome home I left home I was seventeen I had a lot of ambitious dreams Seen a lot of those dreams come true, I've had good luck I ain't complain' that's for sure I got a lot to be thankful for One of those things is a magic door that opens up Back to the time when I was a kid To the sounds of crickets and the katydids It's called ho-o-ome On the front porch swingin' And the fern pots hangin' Ho-o-ome With the church bells ringin' And voices singin' Those old songs that mend my mind like a stitch in time Where the tea is sweet and the love complete Oh me, I wanna go ho-o-ome I often think about where I have been Where I am goin' and that's about when I think about Ho-o-ome Where the soul finds comfort and the heart finds pleasure Ho-o-ome Where the depths of love is hard to measure It's ho-o-ome I hear you callin', I hear you callin' I'll never be lost as long as I know There's place like that where I can go Where I can restore my weary soul On the mountain slopes in the soft blue smoke Of ho-o-ome Home sweeet home. Ho-o-ome Back to the hills with the whippoorwills Of ho-o-ome With the fireflies blinkin' and the night stars winkin' Ho-o-ome Honeysuckle vine and Muscadine wine At ho-o-ome Where the ginseng grows in the shady groves of ho-o-ome With family and friends and joy that never ends Ho-o-ome There's no place like it, no place like it Ho-ome --- Home - Dolly Parton
