[Verse 1]
Oh, there's good and bad things about the south, boy
Oh, and some leave a bitter taste in my mouth, now
Yeah, like the black man livin' across the track
White men were on the other side holdin' him back
Way back home, now
[Verse 2]
Oh, but we won't talk about that 'cause it's understood
Ev'rybody sees the bad, but what about the good?
Ooh, I'd give anything just to smell that scent
Of honeysuckle growin' on a backyard fence
Way back home, now
[Chorus]
Oh, heaven sent, ya'll
(Way back home)
Yeah, way back home
(Way back home)
Yeah, back home, back home
I'd love to smell the wetness of grass and trees
And see flowers kissed by honey bees
Like way back home, now
[Verse 3]
Oh, but childhood days are dead 'n gone
Well, but the memories still linger on
Oh, have you ever gone swimmin' in a muddy creek
With nothin' on your body from head to feet?
Way back home, yeah
Oh, there's good and bad things about the south, boy
Oh, and some leave a bitter taste in my mouth, now
Yeah, like the black man livin' across the track
White men were on the other side holdin' him back
Way back home, now
[Verse 2]
Oh, but we won't talk about that 'cause it's understood
Ev'rybody sees the bad, but what about the good?
Ooh, I'd give anything just to smell that scent
Of honeysuckle growin' on a backyard fence
Way back home, now
[Chorus]
Oh, heaven sent, ya'll
(Way back home)
Yeah, way back home
(Way back home)
Yeah, back home, back home
I'd love to smell the wetness of grass and trees
And see flowers kissed by honey bees
Like way back home, now
[Verse 3]
Oh, but childhood days are dead 'n gone
Well, but the memories still linger on
Oh, have you ever gone swimmin' in a muddy creek
With nothin' on your body from head to feet?
Way back home, yeah
