The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Home Again in My Heart lyrics

One in a million in a lonely town
Two hundred people trying to keep me down
I've taken all I can, I ain't lookin' back
Small town boy in a back yard lot
Can't make a living with the luck I've got
I'm gonna leave it all, I ain't looking back

That's the way I remember, it seemed to me when I was young
But I can still see the leaves slowly fall to the ground
And the snow on the trees as the winter comes down
Still I go home again in my heart

My father worked hard on the railroad track
37 Years cut across his back
He gave it all he had for what he believed
Like every other kid that came before
I grew up believing there was something more
And I still believe, I still believe


That's the way I remember, it seemed to me when I was young
But I can still see the leaves slowly fall to the ground
And the snow on the trees as the winter comes down
Still I go home again in my heart

But I can still see the lightning on a warm summer night
And the rain on the roof when I close my eyes
I can still hear us laughing on the front porch in the dark
There are days when I know that I've traveled so far
That I'll never find the road leading back to the start
Still I go home again in my heart
Still I go home again in my heart
In my heart, in my heart
