Back Home

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
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 thought
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 and 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
