My Home and Family

It takes me right back to my family home
Sitting by dad’s radio
Trying to play them songs on my own
Mama out in the garden
Soup is slowly cooking on the stove
Dad’s boots on the veranda
A blooming jacaranda
A warm September breeze that gently blows
And no matter where I roam
I’ll never will be alone
I will always be
Thankful for my home and my family
I remember my first guitar
Christmas day 1986
My entire repertoire consisted of those classic country hits
Me and my old 6 strings
Together we learned to play along
Daddy still remembers
How I was hooked forever
The moment I first heard Tom T. Hall
And no matter where I roam
I’ll never will be alone
I will always be
Thankful for my home and my family
I know nothing stays the same
But every now and then
I play those songs and close my eyes
And I am home again
And no matter where I roam
I’ll never will be alone
I will always be
Thankful for my home and my family
And no matter where I roam
I’ll never will be alone
I will always be
Thankful for my home and my family
