Home In My Heart north Carolina Lyrics

    (rodney crowell/claudia church)

    I remember waking up
    Running down a dirt road
    Morning dew a shinin', watermelon by the wagon load
    Little baby brother and my sisters in the shade
    Listening to the crickets and the music that they made
    Riding on a tractor with my granpa in the summertime
    Cold bologna sandwich, green tomatoes on the garden vine
    Billy joe mcmillan was the first boy that i ever knew
    He moved to california and it broke my heart in...

    North carolina...your pine trees so tall
    Your hills and your valleys, your cool waterfalls
    Your blue ridge mountains
    Your fields and your streams
    Are lost on the back roads that run through my dreams
    Of north carolina...home in my heart

    Skinny legs and barefoot on the top of an abandoned car
    Pouring out my heart just like a country music singing star
    Pinecone for a microphone
    Full moon for a spotlight
    Shining down from heaven, like it's smiling on me

    North carolina...your pine trees so tall
    Your hills and your valleys, your cool waterfalls
    Your blue ridge mountains
    Your fields and your streams
    Are lost on the back roads that run through my dreams
    Of north carolina...home in my heart

    Although it seems like yesterday
    I'm still a million miles away
    Going to the ocean in my uncle's new sedan
    Daddy's in the army, there's a war in vietnam
    Mama kept us going with her sewing and a prayer
    It's hard to be a family when your daddy's missing

    North carolina...your pine trees so tall
    Your hills and your valleys, your cool waterfalls
    Your blue ridge mountains
    Your fields and your streams
    Are lost on the back roads that run through my dreams
    Of north carolina...home in my heart

    Home in my heart
    Home in my heart
