Some songs take you on a journey, and Home In My Mind does just that. It’s not just a melody; it’s a map of the heart, guiding us back to the places that shaped us. From the opening chords, you can feel the ache of longing, a pull toward somewhere that isn’t just a location but a state of being—a memory of warmth, belonging, and the people who made “home” more than just four walls.
This song captures something universal: the way our minds cling to the familiar when life feels overwhelming. It’s that quiet moment on a lonely night when you close your eyes and picture the house you grew up in, the smell of home-cooked meals, or the laughter of family echoing through the halls. The lyrics paint these moments so vividly that you feel like you’re right there, sitting on the old porch or walking the well-worn path in the backyard.
What makes Home In My Mind truly special is its ability to be both deeply personal and universally relatable. Whether you’re missing a small town, a big city, or just the comfort of your childhood room, this song taps into that bittersweet nostalgia. The simplicity of the melody lets the emotion shine through, while the heartfelt delivery makes every word resonate

Lyrics
Well I’m a thousand miles away
And it feels like a thousand days
Since I seen that smile, heard that laugh
Felt that touch I’ve been needing so bad
And the only way to get there fast
I’m going home in my mind
Cruising by them Carolina pines
Taking it slow, doing 35 down Timber drive
I can already feel your hand in mine
Sweet tea, porch swings, supper on the stove
Everything I’ve been missing on the road
I can’t be there tonight
But when I close my eyes
I’m going home in my mind
I’m going home in my mind
When I’m fighting off the lonely
Just needing you to hold me
Hung up in a hotel
There ain’t no telling girl where I’m at
But baby I’m coming back
Yeah I’m coming back
I’m going home in my mind
Cruising by them Carolina pines
Taking it slow, doing 35 down Timber drive
I can already feel your hand in mine
Sweet tea, porch swings, supper on the stove
Everything I’ve been missing on the road
I can’t be there tonight
But when I close my eyes
I’m going home in my mind, yeah
I’m going home in my mind, yeah
Wish I could hop on the next flight
And have you by my side
But this’ll have to do tonight
I’m going home in my mind
Cruising by them Carolina pines
Taking it slow, doing 35 down Timber drive
I can already feel your hand in mine
Sweet tea in a porch swings, supper on the stove
Everything I’ve been missing on the road
I can’t be there tonight
But if I close my eyes
I’m going home in my mind
Yeah I’m going home in my mind
