Old & In The Way - I'm On My Way Back To The Old Home lyrics

rate me

Back in the days of my childhood<br />

In the evening when everything was still<br />

I used to sit and listen to the fox hounds<br />

With my dad in the old Kentucky hills<br />

<br />

I'm on my way back to the old home<br />

That road winds on up the hill<br />

But there's no light in the window<br />

That shined long ago where I lived<br />

<br />

Soon my childhood days were over<br />

I had to leave my old home<br />

For my mom and dad were called to heaven<br />

I was left in this world all alone<br />

<br />

High in the hills of ol' Kentucky<br />

Stands the fondest part of my memory<br />

I'm on my way back to the old home<br />

That light in the window I long to see
