Have you ever felt soft and surrendered
Dropped your guard and gone
Back to where you were raised?

Felt your daydream pour on you
Like warm spring rain?
'Til your childhood home
Showed through the haze?

Found yourself horseback with Dad and Papaw
Heaven's sake, you were just a kid

The day's work behind
Now Mom's supper in view,
Can you just taste it, 'cause ya'll I just did.

Disappeared in the spell of Mom's kitchen
Fresh bread baking, and flour in her hair
Roast beef filling the oven, smelling for miles,
If your journey's like mine, we're both there.

She raised near everything, cucumbers and corn
Tomatoes, strawberries, peas and beans
No holding back when feeding her crew,
Enough for an army, know what I mean?

After supper there'd be pie and coffee
Homemade ice cream for kids and Mamaw
We'd all race to the porch just to listen,
About wild country Papaw once saw.

Easy ride, if you let your thoughts roam
Back to your family, good food and great times
To that special place,
We all just call HOME.
