Home in My Harbour - McGinty

Well I'm a thousand miles away And it feels like a thousand days Since I seen that smile, heard that laugh Felt that touch I've been needing so bad And the only way to get there fast I'm going home in my mind Cruising by them Carolina pines Taking it slow, doing 35 down Timber drive I can already feel your hand in mine Sweet tea, porch swings, supper on the stove Everything I've been missing on the road I can't be there tonight But when I close my eyes I'm going home in my mind I'm going home in my mind When I'm fighting off the lonely Just needing you to hold me Hung up in a hotel There ain't no telling gir,l where I'm at But baby, I'm coming back Yeah, I'm coming back I'm going home in my mind Cruising by them Carolina pines Taking it slow, doing 35 down Timber drive I can already feel your hand in mine Sweet tea, porch swings, supper on the stove Everything I've been missing on the road I can't be there tonight But when I close my eyes I'm going home in my mind, yeah I'm going home in my mind, yeah Wish I could hop on the next flight And have you by my side But this'll have to do tonight I'm going home in my mind Cruising by them Carolina pines Taking it slow, doing 35 down Timber drive I can already feel your hand in mine Sweet tea in a porch swings, supper on the stove Everything I've been missing on the road I can't be there tonight But when I close my eyes I'm going home in my mind Yeah, I'm going home in my mind

Drinkin' was forbidden in my Christian country home I learned to play the flattop on them good ol' Gospel songs And I heard about the barrooms just across the Georgia line Where a boy could make a livin' playin' guitar late at night Had to learn about the ladies, too young to understand Why the young girls fall in love with the boys in the band When the boys turn to music, the girls just turn away To some other guitar picker in some other late night place Yeah, I held on to my music, I let the ladies walk away Took my songs and dreams to Nashville then I moved on to L.A. Up to New York City, all across the U.S.A I've lost so much of me but there's enough of me to say That my home's in Alabama No matter where I lay my head My home's in Alabama Southern born and Southern bred What keeps me goin' I don't really know Can't be the money, Lord knows I'm always broke Could it be the satisfaction of bein' understood When the people really love you and let you know when it's good Oh I'll speak my Southern English as natural as I please I'm in the heart of Dixie, Dixie's in the heart of me And someday when I make it, when love finds a way Somewhere high on Lookout Mountain I'll just smile with pride and say That my home's in Alabama No matter where I lay my head My home's in Alabama Southern born and southern bred Southern born and southern bred Southern born and southern bred And my home's in Alabama No matter where I lay my head My home's in Alabama Southern born and southern bred Southern born and southern bred Southern born and southern bred
