"Home" is a song written by Fred Lehner and Andy Spooner, and recorded by American country music singer Joe Diffie as his debut single. It was released in August 1990 as the lead-off single from his debut album A Thousand Winding Roads. "Home" rose to the top of all three major country format charts that were in existence at the time — Billboard, Radio & Records (now known as Mediabase 24/7), and the now-defunct Gavin Report — marking the first time in chart history that a country singer's debut single had done so.[1] It also peaked at number 1 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart.
Diffie said the song stirred strong emotions: "I think everybody related to it, regardless of whether they were raised in the country or city, because everybody has a home in their memory."[2]
