Well I left home at eighteen years old
Searchin' for my rainbow and my pot of gold
And all I really knew was what I's leavin' behind
Little did I know that's what I's searchin' to find
Caught up in the rat race now I want to slow down
People go vacationing in my kind of town
How could I be so blind to walk away
From that little bit of heaven that's still yesterday
Sing me back home with the songs that you play
Paint pretty pictures with the words that you say
Make mountains dance and clear water flow
True friends around me and time movin' slow
Please sing me back home
Well I turn on my music and it takes me away
Sung by country people and you feel what they say
Like George and Tammy who chill you to the bone
And Loretta Lynn who sings me back home
Sing me back home with the songs that you play
Paint pretty pictures with the words that you say
Make mountains dance and clear water flow
True friends around me and time movin' slow
Please sing me back home
Well it's been fifteen years since I left home
And I've had many loved ones who now have passed on
I long for the days to be simple again
And just go back to the way that it was back then
But try as I may I just can't turn back the time
So I turn on my music and just close my eyes
And somewhere in the melody the years they just fade away
And I find I'm back home just like it was today
Sing me back home with the songs that you play
Paint pretty pictures in the words that you say
Make mountains dance and clear water flow
True friends around me and time movin' slow
Please sing me back home
Please sing me back home
