Joe Diffie‘s daughter went to her Instagram on April 2 to honor his life and legacy. She chose to sing an a cappella version of his debut single, “Home.”
She sang this by yourself and we absolutely adore her for this. It takes real strength to do this in a tough time, but as a fan, we appreciate it.
“Home” was the first lead single from Joe’s debut album, A Thousand Winding Roads, back in August of 1990.
“The only thing I see ahead / Is just the heat rising off the road / The rainbows I’ve been chasing keep on fading ‘fore I find my pot of gold / And more and more I’m thinking that / The only treasures that I’ll ever know / Are long ago and far behind / Wrapped up in my memories of home,” she sings.
“For my dad,” she captions the emotional video.

The loss of my dad is so sudden and tragic and my heart hurts. I have no words … but thank you for your continued prayers and support for my family. He was my best friend and I have beautiful memories to cherish from here on out.”
