Lyrics

The sky 'round here is cloudy
Oh, why did I ever roam?
'Cause the sky is clearer
The stars are nearer
The moon's a mirror back home
I see the crowds of people
Like bees in their honeycomb
But a man is bigger
His stride has vigor
He cuts a figure back home
Any man who has known
What all this is worth
Knows enough not to settle
For less of this earth
And so why should I wander?
I know I never should roam
'Cause the living's finer
The cares are minor
Each day's a shiner back home
'Cause the living's finer
The cares are minor
Each day's a shiner back home
(Back home)
Back home
(Back home)
Written by: Jay Livingston, Ray Evans
