Christmas lights on an old oak tree Evening sky made just for me A resting mule and a busted plow When I need to feel better I know just how And I wonder all these tribulations The road to my salvation Is the road that leads me home The road that leads me home. Cricket song for the lightning bug The healing power of a mothers love All the most important things Sit between a rocking chair and an old porch swing And I wonder all these tribulations The road to my salvation Is the road that leads me home The road that leads me home. When my heart gets heavy when Im on my own Living alright just feeling all wrong When my mind needs somewhere safe to go It winds on down that gravel road To my salvation That leads to where I came from The road that leads me home.
