Back Home Lyrics by Dolly Parton

0:00Back home, back home (back home, back home)

0:03Yes, I'm going back home (going back home)

0:09Why can't believe, it's been this long

0:13Since, I've seen mom and dad

0:16When I left my mountain home behind

0:20I left them both so sad

0:25My brothers and my sisters, that were babies then are grown

0:33Years have past and now at last, I'm on my way back home

0:41Back home, back home (back home, back home)

0:45Yes, I'm going back home (going back home)

0:49To the factory smoke and city life, I'm sayin' so long

0:57I've shed a lot of tears, through all the years, that I've been gone

1:05And, I've spent a lot of time, oh wishing I could go back home

1:13♪

1:18I've got a letter from mama and-

1:21Mama asked me, if I'd come back home

1:24She says, it sure is lonesome now

1:27Since all of us kids are all growed up and gone

1:31I just can't hardly stand the thoughts of

1:34Momma and daddy being left there all alone

1:37That's really all I need to know

1:42And now, I'm on the road, back home

1:47Back home, back home (back home, back home)

1:50Yes, I'm going back home (going back home)

1:54To the smog and smoke and city life, I'm sayin' so long

2:03I've shed a lot of tears, through all the years, that I've been gone

2:10And, I've spent a lot of time, oh wishin' I could go back home (back home)

2:20Back home, back home (back home, back home)

2:23Yes, I'm going back home (going back home)

2:37♪
