HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
(Connie Gately / John Talley)

Nestled in the pine trees in the mountains 
Down along the road, I love it still 
There I know my dear old mother's waiting 
Waiting, and I know she always will 

Home is where the heart is, they tell me 
Many times I've travelled that lonesome road 
They'll never find a pal as sweet as mother 
They'll never find a place as sweet as home 

Now many years ago I left my old home 
Started out to ramble all around 
If ever I return to where I came from 
I'll build a little home and settle down

Home is where the heart is, they tell me 
Many times I've travelled that lonesome road 
They'll never find a pal as sweet as mother 
They'll never find a place as sweet as home
