Joe Diffie - Home Lyrics
The only the thing I see ahead is
Just the heat a rising off the road
The rainbows I've been chasing keep on fading before I find my pot of gold
But more and more I'm thinking, that the only treasures that I'll ever know
Are long ago and far behind and wrapped up in my memories of home
Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole and the feel of a muddy row between my toes
Home was a back porch swing where I would sit and mom would sing amazing grace
While she hung out the clothes,
Home was an easy chair with my daddy there and the smell of Sunday supper on the stove
My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm always going home
Now the miles I put behind me ain't as hard as the miles that lay ahead
And its much too late to listen to the words of wisdom that my daddy said
The straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a thousand winding roads,
My footsteps carry me away, but in my mind I'm always going home.
Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole and the feel of a muddy row between my toes
Home was a back porch swing where I would sit and mom would sing amazing grace
While she hung out the clothes,
Home was an easy chair with my daddy there and the smell of Sunday supper on the stove
My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm always going home
Yeah, the straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a thousand winding roads,
My footsteps carry me away, but in my mind I'm always going home.

Joe Diffie Home Comments
1000 winding roads?
Joe why did you quit your courier so soon? You are a legend.
Just strolled through the comments and everyone on here are men about my age who look the same. Remember the good ole days weren't always so great and I'm sure your life isn't so bad.
The straight and narrow path he showed me, turned into 1,000 winding roads...AMEN and AWOMEN
My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm always going home. How true.
Home, Walnut Springs Texas..
Love this. 🕊🥀🎚🙏
This is country music
What a song
I live a thousand miles away from where I grew up this song brings me right back there. Every time I go I visit the old neighborhood and it brings a tear to my eye, great times, beautiful song.
Still sounds gold 2019
my dad is still here thank god i rember plowing the garden me busting drit clods up with my feet michael i miss country when it had fealing in it
What a good song with true lyrics!
I've cried so damn hard to this song. Because it's so damn true.
Just saw Joe at the Dallas County Fair in Adel, Iowa. Great show. Thanks Joe.
In my top 5 songs ever. Joe immediately sent this song to radio upon release...this man gave up his first music video chance to show appreciation to the country music stations. He is pure awesome.
I never get tired of this song.
Home is where you make it
Long live the classic yet unique and amazing voice of Joe Diffie.
I can’t wait to see his show!!!
Joe Diffie you are awesome
Joe diffie takes me back to the good old days.Things we're simplier..Momma was cooking in the kitchen,grandma was putting up jarred tomatoes..I love this kind of country music..Me and my dad would be out on the boat catching bass fish..I miss those days.
Takes me back to my childhood days. Weeding the garden, feeling safe and secure in my Daddy's home. The hot summer days, swimming in the canals, fishing on weekends. The smell of sunday dinner on the stove, and mom and dad, and my brothers and sister there. But every wild oat I sowed, always took me back home. The feel of mud between my toes. What an amazing time to be Home..!!
Wow Joe, tomorrow is the first day of May. And you're coming to Buffalo in June with Lee Brice Brett Elderedge and Luke Combs. Wow that's awesome pal. Don't forget your patriotic clothes.
Home! I Love you DAD! Miss you everyday!🙏🇺🇸
I truly feel sorry for people that cannot relate to this song. I feel like they were deprived of a proper upbringing. Even if country music is not your thing, if you can't get nostalgic about your childhood home, something went seriously wrong in your life, and that is truly sad.
Yes and something went really wrong with/ in this world we live in today.... People seem so out of touch with the things that hold the most value...... We ganna make it tho.... Y'all have a great day. God bless
I miss home. Little ol Monticello, AR. A small double wide on a giant farm with ponds and fields and creeks. Those 6 years were the best of my life. Miss you, Dad.
My dad died 31 years ago. I remember waking up the next morning and thinking the world was different somehow and would never be the same again.
God bless Joe diffie
Good song! When he says the words "The only..." at the beginning his voice sounds kinda like Randy Travis!
Great song from back when Country Music still had a soul.
This reminds me of the good ole days. Miss all of them good ole days if I had a wish it would be my mom and dad and my grandma I love to see them Just one more time
49 people aren't welcome at home
this man dont have one great song he is the greatest in all he sings
Takes you back home
This song has a special meaning to me. And music has been the centerpiece of my existence since i was young.
October 5 2018
Joe diffie one of my favorites next to Conway and keith Whitley
A lot of drunking nights listing to this song when it came out
Beautiful song, back when country music was real.
Joe's song never get old..Love this as much today as yesterday.
One of the last songs i played for my grandmother before she passed last year, i miss her still everyday
the feel of a muddy row between my toes
You know when my father is gone I won't be able to listen to this song without crying
My footsteps did carried me away, my mind always goes "home". I miss my home! I don't make it there near enough!
I hate all these stupid ads they show before your song plays
Every time i hear this song i think about bein a kid at my mawmaw and pawpaws
in my home town we got a sign that says "welcome to Velma,home of Joe diffie"
Cool, didnt know that. I used to pick up crude oil from a lease in Velma. As many times i as ive passed through there for work, i never noticed a sign in Velma.
Joe diffie a good singer
Home is as one reflects upon those memories one holds dear to their heart in love
He was the voice of country music back in the 90's. Every time I hear his music, it reminds me of my childhood. I miss how country was. Now it's nothing but a bunch of young people singing about how country they are. Well joe diffie, Keith Whitley, hell even George Jones never sang about how country they were.
JD damn what did joe diffie do to u. I keep seeing ur bullshit on every comment haha dumb ass bitch
grandparents taxidermy shop 😍
Country music of days gone by melted the miles away as I traveled across Americas highways driving an 18 wheeler forever frozen in time
WOW WHAT GREAT MEMORIES
Home cooked meals with no electronic interruptions,a thing of the past that NEEDS to happen again.
No electronic interruptions... Do what my father-in-law does.. All cell phones off and land line phone taken off the hook. Problem solved...
Even though i was born in 99 i listen to more old music then the new stuff
James Dillabough shame you missed the 90s.
yeah it is sometimes i wish i could go back and see people like joe in concert
Great tune Joe
One of my favorite Singers and song. Great song written from the soul.
When was this song produced? Like what year?
TraumaCOD 1989?
so much reminds me of home
Amazing song that should be on the radio more.
I agree
Memories of home with my daddy 😢 Good times wish I had One more Day
grown man crying!
Mark Barnes me to
3 years later grown men still crying. Boy I sure do miss my daddy and the way things used to be. This world is out of touch. Deeply hurting for our kids future. When my kids are my age blessings like this song will be no where to be found. Lord can u please just slow this world down. Just a little. Please and thank you
home was anywhere my mom and dad were at. I love you mom, and I miss and love you dad. you were the best.
home was my grandmas farm where I go home when they get rough
best song ever... definitely hits HOME
I had an amazing mother growing up. We haven't talked for 2 years now, after a falling out. I don't know how to ever talk to her again, after what happened. I miss my mom, but I hate her at the same time.
A song that every young free spirited soul experienced .Awesome song , it tugs at your heart strings . Full of Country home memories of a lost generation.Very well played , hey Joe if you ever need a stand - In ( look a like ) look me up . I'm a dead ringer. When my daughter was young , her favorite singer was Joe Diffie. Not only did I looked like him, I sang to my daughter over 22 years ago to sleep with '' HOME ''. full version, never miss a verse .
Mom is still calling me in for supper.RIP Mom ma I love you
Doc Hollliday wow well said I miss my mom to
I really miss the days when country music meant something like this song does. My dads been gone since Jan. of 92 and i can say that the straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a thousand winding roads.
Michael Glenn so true
I'm sorry to hear that about your dad. But I like your message about how country songs like this one actually have meanings.
I don't know you're daddy but I sure do miss him.
Brings back so many memories song is to the t
Perfeita.
Sure does bring back so many memories. Thanks for posting.
Why do great songs hurt so much
The ones that touch your soul usually do
Because they make you think of the good old days and people who are no longer with us
@jack arnold yeah I agree what u just said 👍
Reminds me of home with my grandpa.those were great years powpa I miss you so much
"the straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a thousand winding roads" pure poetry
Ever heard a song that kinda summed up just the way you felt? this is,and always will be one of my favorites..thanks for sharing!!
Tony Butler though I wanted to drive a truck, but after 17yrs of BS i'd rather be home working back @ the saw mill
( aman)
Tony Butler Listen to I loved her first by heartland
Love this song
Good classic country at the very best.
Five homeless people watched this.
Always brings a tear to my eye. :)
I admire that you dedicate this song to your dad because it sure reminds me of mine...great song heard it for the first time tonite on the radio cooking dinner and it brought me to tears. I won't ever forget this song
That CD, A thousand winding roads is probably the best CD I own........ and I have A LOT of them!!
Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole and the feel of a muddy row between my toes Home was a back porch swing where I would sit and mom would sing amazing grace While she hung out the clothes, Home was an easy chair with my daddy there and the smell of Sunday supper on the stove My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm always going home
Feel of a muddy road between my toes
The only the thing I see ahead is Just the heat a rising off the road The rainbows I've been chasing keep on fading before I find my pot of gold But more and more I'm thinking, that the only treasures that I'll ever know Are long ago and far behind and wrapped up in my memories of home
Makes me think of riding home in the car with my mom on summer nights.
true :/
Thanks for posting this. I was travelling today between homes. Lots of memories.
Oh man, I've been on a diffie kick all day. Forgot about all his amazing songs!
Brings back memories of my childhood
this and "where the corn don't grow" by travis tritt are two of the greatest songs
This song brought me back home 10 years ago. As a young man in search of something bigger and better than "home" offered me, I found myself many miles away with an empty, longing ache for the memories of home. I heard this song on my alarm clock radio one morning and cried. I gave my notice at work that same day and left the city a few days later to go back home. This song will forever hold a special place in my heart--thanks for posting!
Hell yes! Awesome story! Hope it's still going well for you!
One among the all time greats.
good memeries always hurt the worst
these is the greatest song
or three... lol
Such a heart-felt song. Lord, I wish I could go home again. Thank you for posting this song.
i love this song... cause it reminds me of my home. i'm 2,531 miles from there. i sometimes break down and cry at the memories. havin memories is both a blessing and a curse, cause it makes me miss those times, but it feels good to know i lived that life
i hate is when i'm trying to watch something like this and have to listen to a loud obnoxious add first
this song reminds me of home i live 1200 miles away
