lyrics

The hills roll on in a place I used to know/ Cicadas buzz and a cool breeze blows
But that is far away/Chester County, PA/ I miss it so

For my homesickness I am to blame/I rode across the great American Plain
And although I am so glad I came/ I can hear my home call my name
And yes I’m going home/And I won’t be alone/ But it won’t be the same

I wonder up above in a sky so blue/ If I’ll see Canadian Geese flying true
And if I run into someone I knew/ I wonder what they would do?
Would they say hello/Or would they just go/ And hit the avenue?

This one goes out to the creek that I dunked my head in/I lost my glasses there because I was sweating
And if I ever get the chance to have a wedding/On those banks will be its setting
Way way back east/In that shady peace/Where I am heading
