One in a million in a lonely town, 
Two hundred people trying to keep me down, 
I've taken all I can, I ain't lookin' back. 
Small town boy in a back yard lot, 
Can't make a living with the luck I've got 
I'm gonna leave it all, I ain't looking back. 
That's the way I remember, it seemed to me when I was young. 
But I can still see the leaves slowly fall to the ground, 
And the snow on the trees as the winter comes down. 
Still I go home again in my heart. 
My father worked hard on the railroad track; 
Thirty seven years cut across his back, 
He gave it all he had for what he believed. 
Like every other kid that came before, 
I grew up believing there was something more 
And I still believe, I still believe. 
That's the way I remember, it seemed to me when I was young. 
But I can still see the leaves slowly fall to the ground, 
And the snow on the trees as the winter comes down. 
Still I go home again in my heart. 
But I can still see the lightning on a warm summer night 
And the rain on the roof when I close my eyes; 
I can still hear us laughing on the front porch in the dark. 
There are days when I know that I've traveled so far 
That I'll never find the road leading back to the start, 
Still I go home again in my heart 
Still I go home again in my heart 
In my heart, in my heart
