Intro 
     
 
 
I swear I gave up drinkin 
     
Sometimes I have no choice 
           
After singin hard six nights straight 
           
A little sip sure helps my voice 
                                    
Don't get me wrong, I love these songs 
           
And I know I got it made 
          
Sometimes my mind starts driftin' 
                           
When I'm up here on the stage 
 
 
 
To that last half mile of dirt road  
           
And that oak tree on the hill 
          
To them dogs out barkin in the yard  
          
And that tractor in the field 
         
To them kids up on the front porch screamin' 
 
Mama daddy's home 
                                                
When I'm out here I'm just thinking 'bout the things I miss  
      
the most 
                 
 
 
Yeah the hardest thing I have to do 
         
Is hang up this telephone 
         
There's so much lrft to talk about  
     
And I've been gone so long 
    
So put them kids on one more time 
 
Before they go to sleep 
            
And baby, know no matter where I go 
               
All that I can see' 
 

           
Is that last half mile of dirt road  
           
And that oak tree on the hill 
          
To them dogs out barkin in the yard  
          
And that tractor in the field 
         
To them kids up on the front porch screamin' 
 
Mama daddy's home 
                                                
When I'm out here I'm just thinking 'bout the things I miss  
      
the most 
                 
 
                              
The things I miss the most 
                              
The things I miss the most 
                      
And it's killing me I hate to leave 
                     
This family that you've given me 
                  
God only knows, I hate to go 
                             
So hold me close and let me let you know 
                             
About the tings I miss the most 
 
Solo 
 

 
People always ask me 
 
After every show 
             
Of all the places that you've ever been 
                              
What's your favorite place to go 
 
 
          
To that last half mile of dirt road  
           
And that oak tree on the hill 
          
To them dogs out barkin in the yard  
          
And that tractor in the field 
         
To them kids up on the front porch screamin' 
 
Mama daddy's home 
                                                
When I'm out here I'm just thinking 'bout the things I miss  
      
the most 
                 
                                                 
While I'm out here, I'm just thinking about the things I  
                  
miss the most
