|
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 |
|
And Mama asked me, I'd come back home |
|
She says it sure is lonesome now |
|
Since all of us kids are all growned 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 |
|
Now I'm on the road back home |
|
|
|
Back home, back home, yes, I'm going back home |
|
To the smog an' 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 |
|
|
|
Back home, back home, yes, I'm going back home |
