way down south there's a clear stream running
in the night i feel my heart turning
i'm feeling some day i'd like to come
back to the place i started from
country night with the stars above me
way down there with the ones who love me
they mean more than anyone
fall winds blow and the red leaves falling
don't know there's a voice keeps calling
seems my life is a long road winding
gone so far but the ties are binding
i'll pack up my bags and fly away
don't know why i was made to wander
lord i've felt the thunder
someday i'll go home again
and i know they'll take me in
