Farewell My Home

[Verse 1]
I return to the place that I lived long ago
Little house, weathered barn, hills and fields where we roamed
Dusty roads of my youth have all hardened to stone
And to strangers my name is unknown

[Chorus]
Oh sweet home of my childhood
Sweet home of my dreams
Where old friends and old hearts
Entwine in sweet relief
Where I rode the wild stallion and ran with the storm
Now it's farewell, my home, my home

[Verse 2]
The old homeplace is gone and nothing is the same
A cold, silent factory rests on the hallowed place
The highways surround you and kill with cold embrace
All the wild rambling joys of yesterday

[Chorus]
Oh sweet home of my childhood
Sweet home of my dreams
Where old friends and old hearts
Entwine in sweet relief
Where I rode the wild stallion and ran with the storm
Now it's farewell, my home, my home

[Verse 3]
Farewell to my home, you will always remain
In my heart, you're the treasure I find at the close of day
Oh, progress can never take that away from me
I can still keep you safe in my dreams

[Chorus]
Oh sweet home of my childhood
Sweet home of my dreams
Where old friends and old hearts
Entwine in sweet relief
Where I rode the wild stallion and ran with the storm
Now it's farewell, my home, my home

Oh sweet home of my childhood
Sweet home of my dreams
Where old friends and old hearts
Entwine in sweet relief
Where I rode the wild stallion and ran with the storm
Now it's farewell, my home, my home
