## Lyrics
[verse]
Well I heard a man say something 'bout my southern ways
Talking bad about the place where I spent my younger days
I ain't got nothing to prove to him
I just smile and turn the radio up again

[verse]
Red clay roads and a porch light glowing warm
Grandma's kitchen weathered every storm
Sweet tea sitting on the windowsill
Home is something no one else can kill

[chorus]
Take me back to the southern skies
Where the river runs and the cotton flies
Take me back, won't you carry me home
To the porch and the fields where I'm not alone
Sweet home, sweet home, take me home tonight

[verse]
City folks don't know the way it feels
To watch the sunset over the fields
Neighbors waving from the old dirt lane
Nothing here that I would ever trade

[chorus]
Take me back to the southern skies
Where the river runs and the cotton flies
Take me back, won't you carry me home
To the porch and the fields where I'm not alone
Sweet home, sweet home, take me home tonight

[bridge]
Guitars ringing, the whole band's playing loud
Every voice down here sings it proud
Doesn't matter where this old road may roam
My heart already knows the way back home

[chorus]
Take me back to the southern skies
Where the river runs and the cotton flies
Take me back, won't you carry me home
To the porch and the fields where I'm not alone
Sweet home, sweet home, take me home tonight
