Back home, back home
|
Yes, I'm going back home
|
Why I can't believe it's been this long
|
Since I've seen mom and dad
|
When I left my mountain home behind
|
I left them both so sad
|
My brothers and my sisters that were babies then are grown
|
Years have past and now at last, I'm on my way back home
|
|
Back home, back home
|
Yes I'm going back home
|
To the factory smoke and city life, I'm sayin' so long
|
I've shed a lot of tears through all the years that I've been gone
|
And I've spent a lot of time a' wishin' I could go back home
|
|
I got a letter from mama an'
|
Mama asked me if I'd come back home
|
She says it sure is lonesome now
|
Since all of us kids are all growed up and gone
|
I just can't hardly stand the thoughts of
|
Momma and daddy being left there all alone
|
That's really all I need to know
|
And now I'm on the road back home
|
|
Back home, back home
|
Yes, I'm going back home
|
To the smog an' smoke an' city life, I'm sayin' so long
|
I've shed a lot of tears through all the years that I've been gone
|
And I've spent a lot of time a' wishin' I could go back home
|
|
Back home, back home
|
Yes, I'm going back home
|
