[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Wish I could hop on the next flight
And have you by my side
But this'll have to do tonight

[Chorus]
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
