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
