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 and
the window sill And dryin' her washin' on a limb

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