Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I've been a traveler most of my life
Never took a home, never took a wife
Ran away young and decided to roam
Wanna see my mama and my daddy back home
[Verse 2]
Home, where the river runs cold
The water tastes good, the winters ain't cold
Home, where the trees grow tall
The home fires burn, the whip-poor-wills call
[Verse 3]
I remember stories that my daddy used to tell
My eyes would get big, his chest'd really swell
I could sit for hours and listen with glee
As he'd tell of how he lived when he's a boy like me
[Verse 4]
Home, where the river runs cold
The water tastes good, the winters ain't cold
Home, where the trees grow tall
The home fires burn, the whip-poor-wills call
[Verse 5]
Well, Mama, dear, Mama, do you sill love your boy?
After all my roamin', can I still bring you joy?
Mom sent a letter, got it not long ago
She said, "Come home, I'm a-missin' you so"
[Verse 6]
Home, where the river runs cold
The water tastes good, the winters ain't cold
Home, where the trees grow tall
The home fires burn, the whip-poor-wills call
[Verse 7]
Whip-poor-wills call
Whip-poor-wills call
Whip-poor-wills call
