about

My grandparent’s house in Weslaco, Texas will always be “the old homeplace” to me. Although they and the house are gone, in the early morning hours between asleep and awake I still find myself wandering the backyard, listening to Grandpa tell stories while Grandma picks a sack of oranges to take along with me.

lyrics

I took a trip today down to the old homeplace
just to see how things had changed
As I wandered through that backyard where I played
My memories took me back to yesterday

My roots are still planted down at the old homeplace
it's such a part of me
Don't matter how far away I go
or where in this world I might roam
I know that this will always be my home

Even though no one lives there anymore
in my heart I still do
Close my eyes and I dream of those days
and all of the love I once knew

My roots are still planted down at the old homeplace
it's such a part of me
Don't matter how far away I go
or where in this world I might roam
I know that this will always be my home

Don't matter how far away I go
or where in this world I might roam
I know that this will always be my home
