Mama's got her apron on
Standin' in the kitchen
Cookin' up my favorite dish
Whatever she is fixin'
Daddy's in a picture in a frame
That's always sittin' by the phone

Daffodils are poppin' up
Out behind the clothesline
Underneath that tree I planted
When I was just a boy of nine
Man, I never can believe
Just how much it's grown
When I go

Chorus 1:
Home, back home
To the gentle place that held me close
As I became a man
Where the streets are all familiar
And an old friend shakes my hand
And I feel fine, so fine
Yeah knowin' that this road I'm wanderin' on
From time to time always leads me home

Brother he'll be waitin'
With the latest from the grapevine
Sayin' man you won't believe them stories
'Bout those crazy friends of mine
And all them little scandals
That a small town can't seem to leave alone

Later on we'll sit around
Bellies tight from supper
Tellin' all them stories
That we just can't get enough of
And somewhere in an honest laugh
It'll finally hit me that I'm

Chorus 2:
Home, back home
Where the memories all have gathered up
And slowly turned to gold
And I carry them along with me
Wherever I may go
And I feel fine, so fine
In knowin' that this road I'm wanderin' on
From time to time always leads me home,
Back home

And when I go put some flowers
Down at daddy's stone
I see that empty space beside him
It always makes me glad that I came

Chorus 3:
Home, back home
Where the Bible is the Bible
And the angels get their wings
And the circle is unbroken
When I hear those church bells ring
And I feel fine, you know I feel so fine
Yeah knowin' that this road I'm wanderin' on
From time to time unwinds across the rivers,
Through the pines
And leads me home, back home

Yeah I'm going back home,
Back home
