[Verse 1] Dust on my boots Same worn coat Three towns down And one more road I left with a grin And a bag of dreams Now I'm counting fence posts And county streams [Pre-Chorus] I can smell it now Through the rain Porch light waiting Calling my name [Chorus] Take me back home Take me back home Where the front door shakes When the whole crowd roars Take me back home Take me back home I'm one good mile From the place I was before (home) [Verse 2] Old blue truck By the feed store lot Bumper held together By a coat of rust and luck My sister laughs At the shape I'm in Says "you still walk like You never quite got in" [Pre-Chorus] Well I learned some roads I learned some ways But the ones that know me Still call my name [Chorus] Take me back home Take me back home Where the front door shakes When the whole crowd roars Take me back home Take me back home I'm one good mile From the place I was before (home) [Bridge] Pass me that jug Pass me that tune I'm turning my face To the best old view No need for gold No need for fame Just my mama's laugh And my childhood name [Final Chorus] Take me back home Take me back home Where the front porch sings And the supper's warm Take me back home Take me back home I'm here at last And I'm staying through the storm (home)
