Lyrics for Song: Back Home
Lyrics for Album: My Tennessee Mountain Home (Bonus Track) [RCA Nash [2007]
(Dolly Parton)
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 grown up and gone
I just can't hardly stand the thoughts of mom 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...
