Well I'm a thousand miles away

And it feels like a thousand days

Since I seen that smile, heard that laugh

Felt that touch I've been needing so bad

And the only way to get there fast.

I'm going home in my mind

Cruising by them carolina pines

Taking it slow, doing 35 down timber drive

I can already feel your hand in mine

Sweet tea, porch swings, supper on the stove

Everything I've been missing on the road

I can't be there tonight

But when I close my eyes

I'm going home in my mind

I'm going home in my mind.

When I'm fighting off the lonely

Just needing you to hold me

Hung up in a hotel

There ain't no telling girl where I'm at

But baby I'm coming back

Yeah I'm coming back.

I'm going home in my mind

Cruising by them carolina pines

Taking it slow, doing 35 down timber drive

I can already feel your hand in mine

Sweet tea, porch swings, supper on the stove

Everything I've been missing on the road

I can't be there tonight

But when I close my eyes

I'm going home in my mind, yeah...

I'm going home in my mind, yeah...

Wish I could hop on the next flight

And have you by my side

But this'll have to do tonight.

I'm going home in my mind

Cruising by them carolina pines

Taking it slow, doing 35 down timber drive

I can already feel your hand in mine

Sweet tea in a porch swings, supper on the stove

Everything I've been missing on the road

I can't be there tonight

But if I close my eyes

I'm going home in my mind

Yeah I'm going home in my mind.
