I’m home. What can I say?

My body’s here, my heart’s away

 

I’ve left it back where the wall is long

I’ve left it back where the gates are strong

 

Strong enough to keep me out

Strong enough? I doubt.

 

I’ve left him back in Tennessee

In a grave that my eyes can’t see

 

But my mind is clear, I see all still

And I’ll be back, I know I will

 

So I’ll dry my tears, put down my pen

And dream of when we’ll meet again.
