I'm on My Way Back to the Old Home Songtext
von The Del McCoury Band

Back in the days of my childhood
In the evening when everything was still
I used to sit and listen to the foxhounds
With my dad in the old Kentucky hills

I′m on my way back to the old home
That road winds on up the hill
But there's no light in the window
That shined long ago where I live


Soon my childhood days were over
I had to leave my old home
For mom and dad were called to Heaven
I was left in this world all alone

I′m on my way back to the old home
That road winds on up the hill
But there's no light in the window
That shined long ago where I live

High in the hills of old Kentucky
Stands a fond spot in my memory
I'm on my way back to the old home
That light in the window I want to see


I′m on my way back to the old home
That road winds on up the hill
But there′s no light in the window
That shined long ago where I live
