A Taste of Home

Verse 1 I dialed that familiar number, Cuz’ my heart was breaking in two And aching for the comfort, that in her voice I knew I’d find And the invitation for a taste of home To a kitchen table where hearts are healed And problems were solved every time Chorus She’d say come on home, You need a taste of home And there’s no better cure, Then my heart filled apple pie And Grams in the kitchen For your favorite dish And, it’s the best remedy, you’ll ever find Verse 2 I jumped in my car, started to drive Thinking about how love can come and go Then the magical memories, of the love, of a family Brought sweet visions in my mind I laughed out loud, about the last big cake fight An on going war with a cousin of mine Verse 3 I pulled into the driveway Sat in wonder and just stared The whole darn family, they were all standing there An impromptu BBQ, to heal my heart Was on the menu for tonight I‘m so happy I came home, to heal this broken heart of mine Chorus She’d always say come on home, You need a taste of home And there’s no better cure, Then my heart filled apple pie And Grams in the kitchen For your favorite dish And, it’s the best remedy, you’ll ever find Bridge And later in the evening, As Uncle Jack manned the BBQ He put his arm around me saying, I was once there in your shoes Isn’t it funny how the love of a family Can almost heal a broken heart But the final ingredient to make it whole again Is the apple pie and love, from your Mama’s heart Chorus She’d always say come on home, You need a taste of home And there’s no better cure, Then my heart filled apple pie And Grams in the kitchen For your favorite dish And, it’s the best remedy, you’ll ever find Just come on home
