Claudia Church - Home In My Heart (North Carolina) Lyrics
(rodney crowell/claudia church)I remember waking upRunning down a dirt roadMorning dew a shinin, watermelon by the wagon loadLittle baby brother and my sisters in the shadeListening to the crickets and the music that they madeRiding on a tractor with my granpa in the summertimeCold bologna sandwich, green tomatoes on the garden vineBilly joe mcmillan was the first boy that I ever knewHe moved to california and it broke my heart in...North carolina...your pine trees so tallYour hills and your valleys, your cool waterfallsYour blue ridge mountainsYour fields and your streamsAre lost on the back roads that run through my dreamsOf north carolina...home in my heartSkinny legs and barefoot on the top of an abandoned carPouring out my heart just like a country music singing starPinecone for a microphoneFull moon for a spotlightShining down from heaven, like its smiling on meNorth carolina...your pine trees so tallYour hills and your valleys, your cool waterfallsYour blue ridge mountainsYour fields and your streamsAre lost on the back roads that run through my dreamsOf north carolina...home in my heartAlthough it seems like yesterdayIm still a million miles awayGoing to the ocean in my uncles new sedanDaddys in the army, theres a war in vietnamMama kept us going with her sewing and a prayerIts hard to be a family when your daddys missingNorth carolina...your pine trees so tallYour hills and your valleys, your cool waterfallsYour blue ridge mountainsYour fields and your streamsAre lost on the back roads that run through my dreamsOf north carolina...home in my heartHome in my heartHome in my heart
