Place I Call Home - Ziferblat

Well, I was baptized at the Baptist church And my old man taught me 'bout a hard days work I learned how to love, learned how to fight It's where we keep our cash in a dresser drawer Underneath the forty-four And if we do you wrong, we damn sure make it right It's the only place that I call home No matter where in this country I might roam It's where the corn grows tall and the moonshine still flows It's the only place that I call home Your word is good on a handshake Preacher still talks about a judgment day People gonna stop when a funeral passes by We say yes sir and say yes ma'am Answer the call from Uncle Sam Hit a bully in the nose if he crosses the line It's the only place that I call home No matter where in this country I might roam It's where the corn grows tall and the moonshine still flows It's the only place that I call home My roots are buried deep here In this little town And one of these days it's where They'll put me in the ground It's the only place that I call home No matter where in this country I might roam It's where the corn grows tall and the moonshine still flows It's the only place that I call home It's the only place that I call home, yeah

It's been a long time on the road Without a soul to call my own I'm tired of talking to the cards I miss the flowers in the yard There's no place like Home No place like home There's no place I'd rather be Than home I'm gonna move out of the street Stack some stones maybe grow some wheat Build a fire for a little heat Have someone curl up at my feet There's no place like home No place like home There's no place I'd rather be than home Mmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmm I wanna hang up some Pretty things From my suitcase full of dreams Maybe a letter or an old post card Or that paper star stole from a jar There's no place like home No place like home There's no place I'd rather be Than home The sweetest words I ever heard is "Welcome home" It's been a long and dusty road There's a place that's meant for us Full of faith Hope Love and trust I'll keep trudging up the road But someday I'll be going home There's no place like home No place like home There's no place I'd rather be than home Home, home, home Mmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmm Home

Couldn't wait for Friday, 3 p.m. You picked me up, we were gone again Truck tires on a dirt road Kentucky hills out the window Didn't stop till we got to Wilson Farm We were kings and queens, the world was ours Running wild through the wheat fields Thinking this is how free feels Laughing as we go There's no place like home Up to high point mountain we would climb You'd tell me your dreams, I'd tell you mine Wonder if you ever knew How much I was looking up to you You played me all your favorite songs Why you let your little sister tag along I'll never know but I'm glad you did I wish we were still those kids Laughing as we go home There's no place like home The trouble with time is it won't slow down How I wish it would The trouble with earth is I can't bring you back God, I wish I could But I look up at the stars When I'm missing you the most And this aching in my heart is what reminds me There's no place like home I still take the same old Friday drive Pretend you're right there by my side And climb high point mountain without you But it ain't the same without you Preacher talks about a better place Where all our tears will be wiped away A healing for this brokenness No more longing for the ones we miss But you already know There's no place like home Trouble with time is it won't slow down How I wish it would The trouble with earth is I can't bring you back God, I wish I could But I look up at the stars When I'm missing you the most And this aching in my heart is what reminds me There's no place like home Oh, there's no place like home I stopped by to talk to you today And touch the stone where you were laid Right next to grandpa's barn But I know that's not where you are It fills my heart with hope There's no place like home Oh, there's no place like home There's no place like home
