Story Behind The Song
My girlfriend and I were spending an afternoon hiking along the Duck River south of Nashville, which we have done several times before because it is so pretty and peaceful there. We were sitting on the rocks near a waterfall and looking out at the pool below it when I said, "This is my favorite place in the whole world." She hugged me a little tighter and said, "Mine, too."

The singer, who has traveled extensively, mentions such beautiful places as Acapulco, Rome and Paris, none of which compare to her favorite place in the whole, wide world: her lover's arms.

Lyrics
My Favorite Place © 2013 David W. Folsom
I love to sail on the ocean
I love the sand and the sea
I love the breeze as it blows through the trees
But there's a place I'd much rather be
I sure miss Acapulco
And I'd like to fly back to Rome
I miss the bright lights of Paris by night
But the best place I've ever known
My favorite place in the world
My favorite place in the wor-er-erld
My favorite place in the whole, wide world
Is right here in your arms
I like to hike in the mountains
I love to wade through a stream
I love the sight of the stars late at night
But there's a special place of which I dream
My favorite place in the world
My favorite place in the wor-er-erld
My favorite place in the whole, wide world
Is right here in your arms
Oh, the South still calls my heart
And the West pulls at my soul
But there's no place that has such a hold on me
Nowhere else that I feel whole
My favorite place in the world
My favorite place in the wor-er-erld
My favorite place in the whole, wide world
Is right here in your arms
