I want to go back home again
See mom and dad and be with my old friends
Want to walk down that old dirt road
Ease my mind from the heavy load
I've been away too long

This city heat and busy streets are wearing me down
The people here just pass me by a stranger in their town
Sometime I think that I am just a piece that don't fit in
And maybe I am playing in a game that I can't win

I want to go back home again
See mom and dad and be with my old friends
Want to walk down that old dirt road
Ease my mind from the heavy load
I've been away too long

The reason that I left is not the reason that I stayed
I've chased a dream and wasted time that took me far away
But now my plans have changed and all my dreams have fallen through
Now holdin' to this memory is all that I can do

I want to go back home again
See mom and dad and be with my old friends
Want to walk down that old dirt road
Ease my mind from the heavy load
I've been away too long
