Introduction
There’s something magical about a song that feels like a warm hug from an old friend, and Rory Feek’s Back Home Again is exactly that. It’s not just a song—it’s a heartfelt journey, a nostalgic trip down memory lane that reminds us of the simple joys of life, family, and the places we call home. Rory, with his signature storytelling style, breathes new life into this classic John Denver tune, making it feel both timeless and deeply personal.
What makes Back Home Again so special is its ability to evoke a sense of belonging. From the very first note, you’re transported to a cozy front porch, where the smell of fresh-baked bread mingles with the sound of crickets in the evening air. Rory’s warm, earthy voice wraps around the lyrics like a comforting blanket, and you can’t help but feel like he’s singing directly to you. It’s a song that doesn’t just remind you of home—it makes you feel like you’re already there.
Rory’s rendition is more than just a cover; it’s a love letter to the values that shaped him. His deep connection to family, faith, and the rural way of life shines through in every word. You can hear the sincerity in his voice, the kind that only comes from someone who truly understands the beauty of slowing down and appreciating the little things. Whether it’s the crackle of a fire, the laughter of loved ones, or the quiet peace of a country evening, this song captures it all.
And let’s not forget the emotional weight of the song. Rory’s life has been marked by profound love and loss, and you can feel that depth in his performance. It’s as if he’s inviting us to share in his memories, to reflect on our own, and to find comfort in the shared human experience of longing for home. It’s a reminder that no matter where life takes us, there’s always a place in our hearts that feels like home.
Why It Resonates
What makes Back Home Again resonate so deeply is its universality. We’ve all had moments where we’ve yearned for the familiar, for the people and places that ground us. Rory’s version taps into that universal longing with a simplicity and authenticity that’s rare in today’s music. It’s not flashy or overproduced—it’s honest, raw, and real. And that’s what makes it unforgettable.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of John Denver’s original or hearing this song for the first time through Rory’s voice, it’s impossible not to be moved. It’s a song that feels like a conversation with an old friend, one that leaves you feeling a little lighter, a little more connected, and a lot more grateful for the things that truly matter.

Lyrics
I’ll go, I’ll go to my grave
To my grave lovin’ you (lovin’ you) lovin’ you
I’d give, I’d give all I’ve saved
I’ve saved lovin’ you (lovin’ you) lovin’ you
Abd should, and should I live again
Even then, it won’t end
For I’ll go, I’ll go to my grave
To my grave lovin’ you (lovin’ you) lovin’ you
Bridge:
Oh, to take his place forever
There’s nothin’ I wouldn’t give
I’d prove to you daily what a man really is
I’ll lay, I’ll lay down my life
Down my life lovin’ you (lovin’ you) lovin’ you
I’d work, I’d work day and night
Day and night lovin’ you (lovin’ you)
Lovin’ you, lovin’ you
And when, and when life calls us both above
Honey, you’ll know that you’d been loved
For I’ll go, I’ll go to my grave
To my grave lovin’ you (lovin’ you) lovin’ you…
