"Back Home" lyrics

Back home to your girl in Tennessee, baby
Come on back to Appalachia
Come back home to me

You loaded down your car
And you straightened up your tie
Headed for those city lights
[?]
Fancy friends, fame and fortune
Is it what you thought it'd be?
Or when you lay down at night
Do your dreams always lead back

Home, where the river don't run out
Where those pine trees are tall enough
To reach up to the clouds
Back home to your girl in Tennessee, baby
Come on back to Appalachia
Come back home to me

You want that greener grass
But it don't grow on concrete
And you're paying for your parking
While the birds sing here for free
A million-dollar high rise can't beat our mountain view
So when you finally realize I'm waiting here for you

Back home where the river don't run out
Where those pine trees are tall enough
To reach up to the clouds
Back home to your girl in Tennessee, baby
Come on back to Appalachia
Come back home to me

Back home where the river don't run out
Where those pine trees are tall enough
To reach up to the clouds
Back home to your girl in Tennessee, baby
Come on back to Appalachia
Baby, come back
Home where the river don't run out
Where those pine trees are tall enough
To reach up to the clouds
Back home to your girl in Tennessee, baby
Come on back to Appalachia
Come back home to me

Home to me
