Bonoff, Karla - Home Lyrics






Traveling at night
The headlights were bright
And we've been up many an hour
And all through my brain
Came the refrain
Of home and it's warming fire

And home sings me of sweet things
My life there has it's own wings
To fly over the mountains
Though I'm standing still

The people I've seen
They come in between
The cities of tiring life
The trains come and go
But inside you know
The struggle will soon be a fight

And home sings me of sweet things
My life there has it's own wings
To fly over the mountains
Though I'm standing still

Traveling at night
The headlights were bright
But soon the sun came through the trees
Around the next bend
The flowers will send
The sweet scene of home in the breeze

Oh, home sings me of sweet things
My life there has it's own wings
To fly over the mountains
Though I'm standing still

    My favorite version from the songwriter herself. Surprised and glad to see Trisha Yearwood covered it this year in 2019!

    the perfect song for driving home for Christmas...every year a tradition. The steel guitar just kills it

  3. J.... W....

    She was a great songwriter (who wrote for everybody, so I don't see how she was under appreciated) but once you hear Bonnie Raitt shoot an arrow through your heart singing Home, this version just does not hold up.

    Bonnie Raitt has a very good voice and she knows how to use it.

    I discovered this song today at Starbucks

    Me too... I still believe that when cara asked Kevin if he thought It was great that she was going out someone, I still believe cara lied to him, And thats the reason she said ¿you think so?.... Best girl of all

    I used to listen to her in the late 70's, sadly forgot about her, then about 15 years ago I wanted to hear her again but couldn't remember her name... I searched and searched.. 15 years later , found her picture listed as best artist who wrote their own songs.. Knew immediately it was her. Listened to her song ... Home ... I was speechless.

    M.... W....

    me too, Michael, me too. :)

    Beautiful ballad by one of America's most under-appreciated songwriters. She has never been bested !

    t.... w....

    definitely under appreciated, "Home" is one of the best home songs written.

    Very good music...porfect
