Every now and then I go back in time
To that little red house on Oakmont Drive,
Next to that big magnolia tree

A wide-eyed got running wild and free, that's me.
ME and my brothers in the Georgia sun,
Runnin' through the yard with the springlers on,

Lazy dog lyin' in the cool green grass,
Never thought life would fly so fast, it don't last.


I still hear that old sweet song,
A simple melody calling me back home,
Where the love grows pure and strong,

That's where my heart, that's where my heart belongs.

Skippin' stones and kickin' cans,

Stealing my first kiss by the lemonade stand.
I can't forget those southern nights,
Falling stars and fireflies, felt so right.


I still hear that old sweet song,
A simple melody calling me back home,

Where the love grows pure and strong,
That's where my heart, that's where my heart belongs.


Those family days are all but gone,
Everybody moved out, everybody's moved on.
When I'm all alone and feeling like

I'm stuck in the middle of this crazy life
I just close my eyes.


I can hear that old sweet song,
A simple melody calling me back home.
I can hear that old sweet song,

A simple melody calling me back home,
Where the love grows pure and strong,
That's where my heart, that's where my heart belongs.
