Back home, back home (back home, back home)
Yes, I'm going back home (going back home)
Why 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 (back home, back home)
Yes, I'm going back home (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, oh wishing I could go back home
I've 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 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 (back home, back home)
Yes, I'm going back home (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, oh wishin' I could go back home (back home)
Back home, back home (back home, back home)
Yes, I'm going back home (going back home)
