Mother, take me home Where I've grown up, where I've known 'Cos I've grown tired from this pretty life And I can't see from these city lights Father, take me back All these changes, my heart lacks 'Cos I lost my roots, I need my town Take me back to Southern ground Sister, lost my soul My feet run weak and my heart's grown old 'Cos I've grown tried from this pretty life And I can't see from these city lights Brother, pick me up I've fallen into this hole I've dug 'Cos I've lost my roots, I need my town Take me back to Southern ground Ooh! Cos I've lost my roots, and I need my town And I've lost my way, and I can't be found And I've lost my faith, turn me around Take me back To Southern ground
