Laying back remembering when I [Bb] left my home so many years ago
Moved to city life where I thought that I would never roam
[Bb] How the years have come and gone by so fast
nearly blew my [F] mind
[C] long for the day that I go back to that old sweet home [F] of mine
Leaving that old place was the hardest thing I'd ever had to do
[F]
Laying back remembering when I [Bb] left my home so many years ago

[Bb] How the years have come and gone by so fast
nearly blew my [F] mind
[C] long for the day that I go back to that old sweet home [F] of mine
Leaving that old place was the hardest thing I'd ever had to do
