This is where my heart has always been Strumming my guitar, under a big blue sky Feeling the warmth of the sun on my side A gentle breeze is blowing through the trees This is where my country song starts to please Down a dirt road, there\'s a little white house With a porch swing that sways, like a lullaby\'s spouse In the backyard, a garden full of flowers Where memories grow, with every passing hour The old oak tree stands tall and strong It\'s seen the seasons come and go all along I used to climb it when I was a child Those were the days, so wild and mild Country life, it\'s a simple kind of love Where the stars shine bright above And the days are long, but the nights are sweet In this country place, my heart will always beat The fields of gold, they stretch as far as I can see And the sound of silence, it\'s all I need To feel at home, in this country scene This is where my heart has always been There\'s a barn on the hill, with a weathervane on top It tells the story of the changing seasons, non-stop The cows are grazing, in the meadow below And the horses neigh, as the wind softly blows At the end of the day, I sit on the porch Watching the sunset, as the colors torch The sky ablaze, with oranges and reds It\'s a sight that makes my soul feel fed Sometimes life gets crazy, and I lose my way But then I come back, to this country sway The peace and quiet, it soothes my soul It\'s a place where I can always be whole Country life, it\'s a simple kind of love Where the stars shine bright above And the days are long, but the nights are sweet In this country place, my heart will always beat The fields of gold, they stretch as far as I can see And the sound of silence, it\'s all I need To feel at home, in this country scene This is where my heart has always been So here\'s to the country, and all that it holds The memories, the love, the stories untold I\'ll carry this feeling, wherever I go For this country song, will always be my glow
