I look out ‘cross corn rows from a dirt road
Baby’s kicked back in the front seat
Got her bare feet hangin’ out the window
We take a trip down memory lane
Dust on the truck, no chance of rain
My third generation farmin’ friends all pray that it’s on the way
And if it don’t show up, we'll be alright
‘Cause folks round here wouldn’t take a million
For a different life

Home sweet home
I thank my lucky stars at night
I was raised down here and raised up right
Am I proud, you've got that right
Home sweet home
Where a little bit goes a long way
And we shutter down on Sunday
I won’t ever get too far away
From home sweet home

Pull down to the cane bridge
Park in the ditch
Folks and poles are lined up
A little kid holds a stringer up
Got a mess of fish
I drive away with a smile on my face
Knowin’ that this place was blessed
By God's amazing grace

Home sweet home
I thank my lucky stars at night
I was raised down here and raised up right
Am I proud, you've got that right
Home sweet home
Where a little bit goes a long way
And we shutter down on Sunday
I won’t ever get too far away
From home sweet home

No matter I go
Or where the road might lead
This little speck on the map is always gonna be

Home sweet home
I thank my lucky stars at night
I was raised down here and raised up right
Am I proud, you've got that right
Home sweet home
Where a little bit goes a long way
And we shutter down on Sunday
I won’t ever get too far away
From home sweet home

Yeah, I'm coming home
