Lyrics

Back in the hills back in the pines
There is a world I left behind and as I live my days I find
Back home is always on my mind

And My baby waits for me
She prays each night that we will be
Married in the summertime
Back home is always on my mind

I left for greener pastures
But shades of brown are all i see
And now I've found that what I'm after
Is back home in Tennessee
Where the good life waits for me

The story's old the path is new
There's foolish things that a boy will do
He'll go looking when there's nothing to find
Back home is always on my mind

So I admit that I was wrong
And I'll go back where I belong
And we'll be married in the summertime
Back home is always on my mind

I left for greener pastures
But shades of brown are all i see
And now I've found that what I'm after
Is back home in Tennessee
Where the good life waits for me
