GLookin' out of my Dwindow pane, Emtears mingling Cwith the rain
GI'm so lonesome, DI could cry just Emlike old CHank
GStaring down on the Dcity street, Emfeeling empty and Cincomplete
GThere's a place I Dneed to be to Emfill my Ctank
A Cplace I can go where I can be free where I can be happy and just --- be me
GHome, Dwhere the Emwarm winds blowing and the Crivers flowing a- GlongD  
Like a Emlazy bum in the Cmid-day sun
And I've Ggone DfiEmshin' with my pole at the fiCshin' hole
Where CI can lay down my heavy load, and Dknow that I am always --- welcome
GI left home I was D17, EmI had a lot of am- Cbitious dreams
GSee a lot of those Ddreams come true, I've Emhad good Cluck
GI'm not complaining Dthat's for sure, EmI got a lot to be Cthankful for
GOne of those things is the Dmagic door that Emopens Cup
CBack to the time when I was a kid to the sound of the crickets and the Carry Dees
It's called Ghome Don the Emfront porch swinging and Cfern pots hanging
GHome Dwith the Emchurch bells ringing and Cvoices singing
GOld Dsongs that's Emin my mind like a Cstitch in time
Where the Ctea is sweet and the love's complete Dfor me, I wanna go
