Home Lyrics by Stephen Murphy

A Way Back Home

0

[Verse 1]
4 A.M. in the morning, sun ain't had time to rise
You know I'm leaving baby, it should be no surprise
I light up my first cigarette, smokin' hurts my eyes
And I board the greyhound bus, ain't no time to say goodbye
You know I had to leave the city, I have to get away
These buildings don't do nothing for me, but make me wanna cry
Well I'll come back to you some day, really it's just I can't say
I'm heading to the south to my hometown, gonna ramble on my way
[Chorus]
It's not that I don't love you, it's just my heart, it yearns some more
It's not something that you could give me, it's something about my home
There's many a-miles I could ramble, all around the world
But I catch me a train or a fast jet plane just to get me back home
[Verse 2]
Standin' on a platform in Austin, waitin' for the train to come
To take me back down to Dixie Land, a beautiful place to call home
Can't wait to see my old mama, the creek and old willow tree
Mom will cry when I knock on her door, she won't believe it's me
[Chorus]
It's not that I don't love you, it's just my heart, it yearns for more
It's not something that you could give me, it's something about my home
There's many a-miles I could ramble, all around the world
But I catch me a train or a fast jet plane just to get me back home
[Verse 3]
Stayin' home is where the heart is, my hut's in Tennessee
Where the whiskey's sweet, there's a kid in the streets
But the wind, it softly blows
I head down to the corner, and see the general store
I dream of those days when we laughed and played
I won't need this time alone
[Chorus]
It's not that I don't love you, it's just my heart it yearns for more
It's not something that you could give me, it's something about my home
There's many a-miles I could ramble, all around the world
But I catch me a train or a fast jet plane just to get me back home
[Chorus]
It's not that I don't love you, it's just my heart, it yearns for more
It's not something that you could give me, it's something about my home
There's many a-miles I could ramble, all around the world
But I catch me a train or a fast jet plane just to get me back home
