Where My Heart Belongs

(album: A Thousand Miles Left Behind - 2012)

Every now and then I go back in time
to that little red house on Oak Mont Drive
Next to that big magnolia tree,
a wide eyed girl running wild and free
That's me

Me and my brothers in the Georgia sun,
running through the yard with the sprinklers on
Lazy dog lying in the cool green grass
Never thought life would fly so fast
It don't last

I still hear that old sweet song,
a simple melody calling me back home
where the love grows pure and strong
That's where my heart
That's where my heart belongs

Skipping stones and kicking cans
Stealing my first kiss by the lemonade stand
I can't forget those southern nights
Fallen stars and fireflies
Felt so right

I still hear that old sweet song,
a simple melody calling me back home
where the love grows pure and strong
That's where my heart
That's where my heart belongs

Those family days are all but gone
Everybody moved out, everybody's moved on
When I'm all alone and feeling like
I'm stuck in the middle of this crazy life
I just close my eyes
and I can hear that old sweet song,
a simple melody calling me back home

I can hear that old sweet song,
a simple melody calling me back home
where the love grows pure and strong
That's where my heart
That's where my heart belongs
