I WISH I FELT THIS WAY AT HOME
(Harlan Howard)


Harlan Howard - 1966
Bonnie Owens - 1967
Dolly Parton - 1967


If I could be with you forever
My restless heart would never want to roam
I've never been loved the way you love me
I wish I felt this way at home

But I don't and I won't, I gave all that I could
He and I tried hard, but it's just no good
I may never be free, there's no reason
But I wish I felt this way at home

(Instrumental Break)

When you kiss me it's words without speakin'
I don't believe that God would call this wrong
Your arms are the refuge I've been seekin'
I wish I felt this way at home

But I don't and I won't, I gave all that I could
He and I tried hard, but it's just no good
So I'll say it again as I'm leavin'
I wish I felt this way at home
