When I hear country music It takes me right back to my family home Sitting by dad's radio Trying to play them songs on my own Mama out in the garden Soup is slowly cooking on the stove Dad's boots on the veranda A blooming jacaranda A warm September breeze that gently blows And no matter where I roam I'll never will be alone I will always be Thankful for my home and my family I remember my first guitar Christmas day 1986 My entire repertoire consisted of those classic country hits Me and my old 6 strings Together we learned to play along Daddy still remembers How I was hooked forever The moment I first heard Tom T. Hall And no matter where I roam I'll never will be alone I will always be Thankful for my home and my family I know nothing stays the same But every now and then I play those songs and close my eyes And I am home again And no matter where I roam I'll never will be alone I will always be Thankful for my home and my family And no matter where I roam I'll never will be alone I will always be Thankful for my home and my family
