[Verse 1] The highway signs keep rollin' by Another state, another sky I've seen neon glow in a hundred towns And watched the sun go down all around The motel room's got four white walls And nobody waits when the evening calls Funny how a man can travel this far And still be right where his memories are [Pre-Chorus] I've chased a paycheck across this land But tonight I finally understand [Chorus] Home ain't the house I sleep in tonight It ain't the city limits or the county line It's the voices I miss when the day gets long The reason I still call that old place home It's my baby's laugh and my daddy's advice My mama sayin' grace every Friday night I've been a lot of places, Lord knows I've roamed But home is where the heart is... and mine never left home [Verse 2] There's a picture taped beside the bed Of the ones I love and the life I led A little league jersey, a front porch swing Funny how the smallest things mean everything The older I get, the more I find You can't measure wealth by a dollar sign 'Cause the things that matter don't fit in a bank They're the ones you miss when you're far away [Pre-Chorus] The miles get longer every year But some truths keep gettin' crystal clear [Chorus] Home ain't the house I sleep in tonight It ain't the city limits or the county line It's the voices I miss when the day gets long The reason I still call that old place home It's my baby's laugh and my daddy's advice My mama sayin' grace every Friday night I've been a lot of places, Lord knows I've roamed But home is where the heart is... and mine never left home [Bridge] One day these roads won't call my name And I'll trade these headlights for a porch swing chain Till then I'll carry what matters most No matter where these old wheels go [Final Chorus] Home ain't the house I sleep in tonight It ain't the city limits or the county line It's the people I love and the life we've made The memories time can never take It's my baby's laugh and my daddy's advice My mama sayin' grace every Friday night I've been a lot of places, Lord knows I've roamed But home is where the heart is... Yeah, home is where the heart is... And mine never left home
