Lyrics
Driven down that old highway
To a place a used to know...take me home
Where time stands still
And the White River flows... take me home
Weeping limbs of willow trees
Sets my spirit free... take me home
Getting back to that old place
Is where I wanna be...take me home
Ooh - ooh...... take me home
Ooh - ooh...... take me home
Seeing this old place
Takes me back in time.... take me home
Where my old man
Made me tow the line.... take me home
Seeing all the Cyprus trees
Sets my spirit free.... take me home
On a boat with fishing poles,
Is where I wanna be..... take me home
Ooh - ooh...... take me home
Ooh - ooh...... take me home
