Old Friend I Call Home (Live)

Stop by today to see an old friend

I wondered if I'd ever get back that way again

Didn't look the same

An auction sign there on the gate

A lot of priceless treasures hanging on the walls

Drowning out the sound of laughter in the halls that I still hear

In my heart so loud and clear

Then a voice from behind me said,

“Son, let me know

If you see something you can't live without”

And I just smiled

I saw mama cooking in that kitchen

 And daddy putting wood in that old stove

A family holding hands around the table

Sharing what some people never know

It's covered with new paint and priceless treasures

 But to me it's still an old friend I call home

A lot of things have changed

Time keeps moving on

They say you can't go back

Once those days are gone

But I still try

When I close my eyes

Sir, with all respect I gotta let you know

There's some things in this house

That can't be bought

 And can't be sold

Like mama cooking in that kitchen

And daddy putting wood in that old stove

 A family holding hands around the table

Sharing what some people never know

It's covered with new paint and priceless treasures

But to me it's still an old friend

I called home

With it built with love

And more than just a shelter

Where the family bible held us all together

It's covered with new paint and priceless treasures

But it's good to see my old friend

I call home

I call home

I call home

I called it home
