Home’s Where I Hang My Hat
By: Noah Eaton
11/6/03

Where the southern red oaks sway
Is where I’d love to roam
Where the yellow-throated warbler sings
And Wild Sweet William grows
I’ve got my chaps and jingle bobs
And I’m proudly wearin’ my cowboy boots
But out there every cowboy gets lonely
You can’t go chasin’ the sun too soon

We’re all cowboys at heart
But goin’ out there alone can tear you apart
My fireplace feels so much warm than my campfire
And from my front porch I can share the stars
We’re all outlaws on the run,
But everyone needs someone
Home’s where I hang my hat,
Where my heart feels the love

After every dinner I sit a while,
After every supper I walk a mile
I’ll always go out on the town
But I’ll come comin’ back with a smile
Cuz I cut my coat according to my cloth
And my cloth’s spun from my mother’s hand
And I learned how to ride my horse
When my pa bounced me upon his lap

We’re all cowboys at heart
But goin’ out there alone can tear you apart
My fireplace feels so much warm than my campfire
And from my front porch I can share the stars
We’re all outlaws on the run,
But everyone needs someone
Home’s where I hang my hat,
Where my heart feels the love

Two-thirds of promotion is motion
And time can move so fast
I want to be where my pa says grace before each meal
Where I can look down at my toes and see the grass

We’re all cowboys at heart
But goin’ out there alone can tear you apart
My fireplace feels so much warm than my campfire
And from my front porch I can share the stars
We’re all outlaws on the run,
But everyone needs someone
Home’s where I hang my hat,
Where my heart feels the love

We’re all cowboys at heart
But goin’ out there alone can tear you apart
My fireplace feels so much warm than my campfire
And from my front porch I can share the stars
We’re all outlaws on the run,
But everyone needs someone
Home’s where I hang my hat,
Where my heart feels the love

I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sun set and I perceive

Home is definitely where the heart is...

Lovely poem

Do songs on the radio sing to all the fools in love?

i carry your heart with me
i am never without it
you are what a moon has always meant sky of sky

Noah...Enjoyed this muchly...always a melody in what you write. And I agree about the home part, but I still would like to have a horse.

Third to last stanza, you are missing the word look? as in 'look down at my toes'...nice feel to this one Noah, you've got a kind heart yourself!

Hello Noah

This was a marvellous piece of writing from you and it reminded me a little of a song that you may or may not know called "Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)" by an English guy called Paul Young.
Do you remember that song?

Take care........Sue
