Lyrics
There's an old town where I left my memories
Of childhood and long summer days
Lazing on my porch swing
Dad strummin' on his six-string
- he began to play...
He sang about how fathers love their children
And how they grow so fast - then they move away
Now I'm sittin' here this evening
A grown man now believin' in
Those words that my Daddy used to say, so
I'm coming home
Home where my heart is
I've made up my mind
Ain't wastin' no time
I'm coming home
So many years have gone since I left you
But I miss you more with every passing day
If our love had been stronger
If we'd kissed a moment longer
Things might have turned out another way
In my lonely heart I feel such a yearning
To get back to the love I once knew
Tho' I've come so many miles
For big bucks and fake smiles
They can't compensate for a love that's true
I'm coming home
Home where my heart is
I've made up my mind
Ain't wastin' no time
I'm coming home
BRIDGE
So take this big bird down
This is my home town
It's the one place I wanna be...
I'm coming home
Home where my heart is
I've made up my mind
Ain't wastin' no time
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Home where my heart is
I've made up my mind
I ain't wastin' no more time
I'm coming home
Been gone for so long
But the burn is still strong
I'm coming home
