Home Is Where My Heart Is

Back in my mining days, when I was digging for gold
I would spend all my waking hours in deep, dark holes
The deeper I dug, the clearer did I see
That rock and stone and solid ground could not take care of me
I was dreaming, dreaming of you
My home is where my heart is
And my heart’s right here with you
I’ve been on the other side of the mountain
I have seen the ocean blue
In every town I just kept feeling lonely,
cause my heart was here with you
I was a drifter for too long, now I’ve made up my mind,
My restless days are buried in the years I’ve left behind
I’ll lay down my chisel, my hammer I’ll cast aside
No vein of gold can lure me away, by that I will abide
I will stay, stay with you
My home is where my heart is
And my heart’s right here with you
I’ve been on the other side of the mountain
I have seen the ocean blue
In every town I just kept feeling lonely,
cause my heart was here with you
