My Old Home

My Old Home

[Verse 1]
I woke up today with a memory burnin’ bright
Of a small red house by the county line
Mom hummin’ hymns as she brewed coffee
Dad at the table, boots caked with  glory

[Pre-Chorus]
I walked those halls in bare feet dreams
Where the world felt wide but love was all I’d need

[Chorus]
But my old home don’t stand there no more
The paint peeled away, the porch caved to the floor
Those days of runnin’ free with no place to roam
Yeah time forgets it all,  but my heart remembers home

[Verse 2]
Saturday nights with the radio down low
Best friends laughin’ where the tall grass grows
Mama’s voice callin’ out into the fading sun
‘Come on in boy, the day’s work is done’

[Pre-Chorus]
I held it all so tight in my chest
Thinking what I lost was what I loved best

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
But life gives us pieces to build something new
What I longed for then, I found in you
The laughter, the love, the quiet porch light glow
I don’t need the past to find my way home

[Outro Chorus]
My old home ain’t a place on a county road
It’s the lessons I carry, the stories I hold
I’ve lost and I’ve gained, and through it I’ve grown
Now I live in the love that my old home had sown
