Home Fires Lyrics by Jim Peterik

Winds of Change

2019

[Verse 1]
Roadsides hypnotize me, state lines flyin' by me
Where there's a show, there I must go
Abandoned brothers with a world to discover
We are playing the crowd, living out loud
[Pre-Chorus]
But in my room alone with only my guitar
Your heart against the phone is my only true connection
As I search in your direction
[Chorus]
Keep those home fires burnin' while my wheels are turnin'
I'll be dreamin' tonight, somewhere tonight
These glowing embers let my heart remember
What I'm missing tonight, there by your side
[Verse 2]
Windy city, skyline sunset on the shoreline
Fireworks fly, Fourth of July
In the clouded mirror
You face, shining like a
Light in the dark, Millennium Park
[Pre-Chorus]
Before you place the star upon the Christmas tree
Before the snowflakes fall, I will take you in my arms
And show you all you mean to me
[Chorus]
So keep those home fires burnin' while my wheels are turnin'
I'll be dreamin' tonight, somewhere tonight
These glowing embers let my heart remember
What I'm missing tonight, there by your side
[Bridge]
So while I'm riding out the storm
Your home fires are keepin' me warm, yeah
Ooh, the rhythm of the road is forever in my soul
And deep within my heart
Oh, but everyday I fear I'll waste another year
For every mile that's keeping us apart, yeah
[Chorus]
Keep those home fires burnin' while my wheels are turnin'
I'll be dreamin' tonight
These glowing embers let my heart remember
What I'm missing tonight
[Chorus]
Keep those home fires burnin' while my wheels are turnin'
I'll be dreamin' tonight, somewhere tonight
These glowing embers let my heart remember
What I'm missing tonight, there by your side
[Outro]
So while I'm riding out the storm
These home fires are keepin' me, keepin' me warm, ooh yeah
These home fires are keepin' me warm
I remember (Ah, keepin' me warm)
