Bill Anderson - Home And Things lyrics

Never thought I'd miss that little old shack where I was born

Never thought I'd miss that little hick town

But then I never thought I'd wander quite this far away

Or my dreams would get turned quite this upside down.

Home and things are heavy on my mind tonight

And I'd fly south if only I had wings

This big old world can make you miss the simple life you used to live

Oh, what I'd give to just see home and things.

Things like my mama coolin' off her applepies in the window sill

And dryin' her washin' on a limb from a hickory tree

Things like my daddy takin' his lunch to work in a paper sack

And tellin' all of his buddies how proud he is of me.

Things like the preacher standin' in the pulpit early on Sunday morning

Preachin' to the sinners and leadin' everybody in a prayer

Oh the sun was yellow and the grass was green

And the folks they were warm and friendly

And your soul could take a good deep breath of God's fresh air.

Home and things are heavy on my mind tonight

And I'd fly south if only I had wings

This big old world can make you miss the simple life you used to live

Oh, what I'd give to just see home and things.

Home and things are heavy on my mind tonight...
