Back Home lyrics

[Intro]
Back home to your girl in Tennessee
Baby, come on back to Appalachia, come back home to me

[Verse 1]
You loaded down your car and you straightened up your tie
Headed for those city lights and kissed our love goodbye
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—

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
You want that greener grass, but it don't grow on concrete
And you're paying for your parking while the birds here sing for free
A million-dollar high rise can't beat our mountain view
So when you finally realize I'm waiting here for you

[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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
