I’m on My Way Back to the Old Home Songtext
von Gillian Welch

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
The 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
And I had to leave my home
And mother and dad were called to heaven
I was left in this world all alone


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

Back in the hills of old Kentucky
It's the finest spot for my whole memory
I′m on my way back to the old home
There′s a light in the window I long to see

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

But there's no light in the window
That shined long ago where I live
