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 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
