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
