JD Rivers - Coming Home Lyrics

It's been a long road full of dust and dreams
Miles of memories where nothing's as it seems
The city lights shine but they don't compare
To the warmth of the home where love's in the air

I'm coming home where my heart belongs
Back to the place where I've been gone too long
Through the valleys low and the mountains high
I'm coming home beneath that southern sky

Left my roots behind chasing after gold
But found the truth in stories Mama told
She said "Son don't forget where you're from
When the world gets heavy you'll know where to run"

I'm coming home where my heart belongs
Back to the place where I've been gone too long
Through the valleys low and the mountains high
I'm coming home beneath that southern sky

The front porch swing where we used to sit
The creak of the boards the sound of it
The smell of pine and the morning dew
It's the little things that pull me through

The old church bell still rings the same
The echoes call me by my name
Friends I've known since I was young
Waiting there with open arms their songs unsung

I'm coming home where my heart belongs
Back to the place where I've been gone too long
Through the valleys low and the mountains high
I'm coming home beneath that southern sky

The road was rough but it led me here
Where the stars shine bright and the air is clear
No more wandering no more pain
In this sacred place I'll remain

There's a peace I've found in this quiet land
With the soil beneath and the sky so grand
In the arms of home where the heart can heal
In the comfort of love that's pure and real

I'm coming home where my heart belongs
Back to the place where I've been gone too long
Through the valleys low and the mountains high
I'm coming home beneath that southern sky

So here I stand on this hallowed ground
With every lost piece of me now found
Home is more than just a place to be
It's where the soul's set free where I'm meant to be
