Home Joe Diffie
[D]The only the thing I see ahead is
[G] just the heat [A7]a rising off the[D] road
[D]The rainbows I've been chasing keep on
[G]fading before I [A7] find my pot of [D]gold
[G]But more and more I'm thinking, that the only treasures
[A7]that I'll ever [D]kno[G]ow
[D]Are long ago and far behind and [A7]wrapped up in my
[G]memories of [D]home
Chorus:
[G]Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole
and the feel of a muddy road between my [D]toes
[G]Home was a back porch swing where I would sit
and mom would sing[D] amazing grace
While she hung out the [A7]clothes,
[G]Home was an easy chair with my daddy there
and the smell of Sunday supper on the [D]sto-[G]ve
[D]My footsteps carry me away but [A7]in my mind I'm
[G]always going [D]home
Verse 2:
[D]Now the miles I put behind me ain't as
[G]hard as the [A7]miles that lay[D] ahead
[D]And its much to late to listen to the
[G]words of wisdom [A7]that my daddy[D] said
[G]The straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a
[A7]thousand winding [D]ro-[G]oads,
[D]My footsteps carried me away, but [A7]in my mind I'm
[G]always going [D]home.
Repeat Chorus: (then add)
[G]Yeah, the straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a
[A7]thousand winding [D]ro-[G]oads,
[D]My footsteps carried me away, but [A7]in my mind I'm
[G]always going [D]home.
