Home And Things

<br>Never thought I`d miss that little old shack where I was born<br>Never thought I`d miss that little hick town<br>But then I never thought I`d wander quite this far away<br>Or my dreams would get turned quite this upside down<br>Home and things are heavy on my mind tonight and I`d fly south if only I had wings<br>This big old world can make you miss the simple life you used to live<br>Oh what I`d give to just see home and things<br><br>Things like my mama coolin` off her applepies and the window sill<br>And dryin` her washin` on a limb from a hickory tree<br>Things like my daddy takin` his lunch to work in a paper sack<br>And tellin` all of his buddies how proud he is of me<br>Things like the preacher standin` in the pulpit early on Sunday morning<br>Preachin` to the sinners and leadin` everybody in a prayer<br>Oh the sun was yellow and the grass was green<br>And the folks they were warm and friendly<br>And your soul could take a good deep breath of God`s fresh air<br>Home and things are heavy...<br>Home and things are heavy on my mind tonight
