Darling West Home Is Where My Heart Is song lyrics

Back in my mining days, when I was digging for gold

I would spend all my waking hours in deep, dark holes

The deeper I dug, the clearer did I see

That rock and stone and solid ground could not take care of me

I was dreaming, dreaming of you

My home is where my heart is

And my heart's right here with you

I've been on the other side of the mountain

I have seen the ocean blue

In every town I just kept feeling lonely,

cause my heart was here with you

I was a drifter for too long, now I've made up my mind,

My restless days are buried in the years I've left behind

I'll lay down my chisel, my hammer I'll cast aside

No vein of gold can lure me away, by that I will abide

I will stay, stay with you

My home is where my heart is

And my heart's right here with you

I've been on the other side of the mountain

I have seen the ocean blue

In every town I just kept feeling lonely,

cause my heart was here with you
