HOME                        By: Howie Askay


In my life I have felt so alone
In my dreams I am back with you at home
I grew up with hands in the earth
Soaked with sweat and my family I chose first

Now my momma threw she threw bails till she could not stand
She told me all the hard work would make me a better man
Daddy would leave and come back home with grease in his nails
He would show me his life and tell me to take a different trail

All these things in my life that I’ve grown to love
And with each step I take I didn’t want to grow up

My little sister she is my dearest friend
Play in the woods all day, then the next day were back again
God gave this gift to write and sing my songs
I’d give this gift back for one more day with my family home

Sometimes it hurts to look back, but then I smile
And if I dream at night, don’t let me wake let me stay a while, stay a while

Now my kids I have taught to understand
How to appreciate and stay a kid as long as they can

All these things in my life that I have grown to love
And with each step I took I didn’t want to grow up

Hears to momma, my sister and here’s to my dad
I really love you for all that you are, signed the long lost man
