The Way Back Home - Lori McKenna

Well keep a Bible by your bed even if you never read it

Like a candle in the drawer in case the lights go out

Keep your feet on solid ground but don’t ever let the stars go

That way you’ll always know the way back home

Keep a Twenty in your pocket and a book for readin'

If the truth hurts in your throat, keep mercy on your tongue

Remember forgiveness is a choice the

That way you’ll always know the way back home

That way

When you’re missin' somebody

The way you miss somebody that you’ve know your whole life

You’re always

Just a mem’ry away from findin'

That dirt road that leads to the front door that made you who you are

Remember the smell of summer risin' off of the driveway

After an afternoon rain, Mama callin' you in to eat

If you feel like you’ve been lost, think of the backyard you came from

That way you’ll always know the way back home

That way

When you’re missin' somebody

The way you miss somebody that you’ve know your whole life

You’re always

Just a mem’ry away from findin'

That dirt road that leads to the front door that made you who you are

Made you who you are

In your chest there is a compass, in your blood there is a calling

And in your head there is a vision, you called that «the dream»

And leavin’s part of it, if you didn’t you might never know

Keep a Bible by your bed like headlights comin' up the road
