My Home Place
Songwriters-Kimberly Hales Kime/Gary Todd
Demo Performed by Jeff Carson

VERSE 1

Standing on the front porch one last time

Sun winding through the arms of that yellow pine

Draw in a deep breath as I open up the door

Shadows from my childhood stretched across the floor

In my home place

 
VERSE 2

Blue dusty vase still sitting on the window sill

Hasn't held Mama’s roses in nearly fifteen years 

A ring on the old wood stove should hold a pot of beans

And the quilt in that rocker shared a baby’s dreams

In my home place

My home place

 
BRIDGE

How do I say goodbye to Daddy’s land?

And drop the key in some stranger’s hand

He’s gone now like that auction gavel ringing

But stories, they keep singing to me

 
VERSE 3

I hammer down the sign saying that its sold

I hope these new folks know it’s memory is old

This house still lives and breathes of family and love

Funny how the posts and beams hold memories of

My home place

My home place



BRIDGE

How do I carry this last box of lifetime through the door?

The old place won’t be home anymore

 
TAG

Standing on the front porch one last time

Of my home place

My home place
