Introduction
Have you ever been far from home and felt that deep, aching pull to be back where your heart belongs? That’s exactly the feeling Scotty McCreery captures in his heartfelt song Home In My Mind. It’s one of those tracks that feels like it was written just for you, especially if you’ve ever missed the comfort of home, the people you love, or the simple joys of where you grew up.
Released as part of Scotty’s 2023 album Same Truck: The Deluxe Album, Home In My Mind is a beautiful blend of nostalgia and longing. The song paints vivid pictures of home—not just as a physical place, but as a feeling, a memory, and a state of mind. Scotty’s warm, rich voice carries the emotion of the lyrics perfectly, making you feel every word as if it’s your own story. It’s the kind of song that makes you close your eyes and imagine the familiar sights, sounds, and smells of the place you hold closest to your heart.
What makes this song so special is its relatability. Whether you’re on the road, living far from your hometown, or just feeling a little disconnected, Home In My Mind reminds you that home is never really that far away. It’s in the memories of family dinners, the sound of your favorite song on the radio, or the way the sun sets over the hills you grew up around. Scotty’s lyrics are simple yet powerful, and they hit you right in the feels.
The melody is gentle and reflective, with a touch of country charm that Scotty is so well-known for. It’s not overly flashy or dramatic—it’s honest, raw, and real, just like the emotions it conveys. And that’s what makes it resonate so deeply. It’s the kind of song you’d play on a quiet evening, maybe when you’re feeling a little homesick, or even when you just want to take a moment to appreciate the people and places that shaped you.
Scotty McCreery has always had a knack for storytelling, and Home In My Mind is no exception. It’s a reminder that no matter where life takes us, we can always carry a piece of home with us—in our hearts, in our minds, and in the memories that never fade.

Lyrics
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
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
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
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
Wish I could hop on the next flight
And have you by my side
But this’ll have to do tonight
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
