Longing For Home

G C G rolling fields of bluegrass on the hillside G C G cattle grazing high up on a ridge G G7 C G that old mountain preacher telling us about Heaven G C G in that little country church house 'round the bend. G G C G let me tell you that time passes slow to a young man G C G before you know his mind will start to dream G G7 C G and take him far away to the lights of the city G C G and the pleasures of life that he's never seen. G G C G and I wonder if Daddy's still plowing in the meadow G C G does the old farmhouse still look the same G G7 C G does Momma still sing on the front porch while she's working G C G "Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages, cleft for me" G G C G you know I can still hear her voice in my memory G C G I can see her on the back porch breaking beans G G7 C G I still hear her call out my name by her bedside G C G O Lord, won't you keep him near to thee. G G C G and I wonder if Daddy's still plowing in the meadow G C G does the old farmhouse still look the same G G7 C G does Momma still sing on the front porch while she's working G C G "Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages, cleft for me"
