Lyrics

HOME
Words & Music by John Ross

Home there's maple trees and evergreens, that's my home
Home where waters clean and grass is green, that's my home
Home where momma cried and daddy tried, that's my home
Home far memories still part of me at my home

I've been to places
I've seen a million faces
When can I come home

I've sailed the waters
Cool waters
When can I come home

Because I've been around
And I've seen a lot of things going down

Home wild teenage years and dating fears, that's my home
Home hot summer days and northern ways, that's my home
Home where's Davie gone, he still lives on at my home
Home far memories still haunting me at my home

I've been to places
I've seen a million faces
When can I come home

I've sailed the waters
Cool waters
When can I come home

Because I've been around
And I've seen a lot of things going down

Home a restless day, I had to get away from my home
Home I never knew the sky was blue at my home
Home I left behind a good friend of mine at my home
Home fond memories still follow me at my home

I've been to places
I've seen a million faces
When can I come home

I've sailed the waters
Cool waters
When can I come home

Because I've been around
And I've seen a lot of things going down
