The Joe Diffie Home song was released in August 1990 as the lead-off single from his debut album “A Thousand Winding Roads”. “Home” rose to the top of all three major country format charts that were in existence at the time including Billboard. The album’s title was derived from a line in its lead-off single “Home”, which reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in late 1990.

Joe Diffie Home Lyrics
The only thing I see ahead
Is just the heat rising off the road
The rainbows I’ve been chasing
Keep on fading ‘fore I find my pot of gold
And more and more I’m thinking
That the only treasures that I’ll ever know
Are long ago and far behind
Wrapped up in my memories of home
Home was a swimming hole
And a fishing pole
And the feel of a muddy road
Between my toes
Home was a back porch swing
Where I would sit
And mama’d 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 it’s way 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 road
Between my toes
Home was a back porch swing
Where I would sit
And mama’d 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
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
