Trace Parks Music - A Journey Back Home Lyrics

I remember the days when the sun would shine so bright
Running through the fields from morning until now night
Barefoot on the gravel with a fishing pole in hand
Life was oh so simple in that small hometown land

Oh, it's a journey back home where the heart always knows
Down those winding roads where the wildflowers grow
With every mile I roam the memories unfold
In a journey back home to the place I call my own

Grandma's in the kitchen with the sweet smell of pie
Laughter in the yard with the fireflies at night
Swinging on the front porch with the fiddle and the tune
The stars were our blanket and the night never came too soon

Oh, it's a journey back home where the heart always knows
Down those winding roads where the wildflowers grow
With every mile I roam the memories unfold
In a journey back home to the place I call my own

Time may pass and the years may fly
But the roots grow deep and they never die
Through the valleys and hills no matter where I roam
My soul finds peace on the journey back home

The barn still stands though the paint is wearing thin
The echoes of the past whisper in the wind
Children's laughter's faded but the spirit lingers on
In the creek of the forest and the break of dawn

Oh, it's a journey back home where the heart always knows
Down those winding roads where the wildflowers grow
With every mile I roam the memories unfold
In a journey back home to the place I call my own

So I'll pack my bags and I'll follow the stream
Back to the place where I learned to dream
With the sky above and the earth below
I'll find my way on the journey back home
