Oh, but we won't talk about that 'cause it's understood
Everybody sees the bad but what about the good?
Ooh, I'd give anything just to smell that scent
Of honeysuckle growin' on a backyard fence
Way back home, now

Oh heaven scent, y'all

(Way back home)
Yeah, way back home
(Way back home)
Thinkin' on back home
I'd love to smell the wetness of grass and trees
And see flowers kissed by honey bees
Like way back home, now

Oh, but childhood days are dead 'n' gone
Well, but the memories still linger on
Oh, have you ever gone swimmin' in a muddy creek
With nothin' on your body from head to feet?
Way back home, yeah

Oh, What happened to the games like hide an seek
Yeah, and snake through the weeds overhear the streams
Well, I know some kids still play those games
But when they play it just ain't the same
Like way back home

Sad to sing it, y'all
(Way back home)
Yeah, way back home, way back home
(Way back home)
Oh yeah

Oh, I really miss those things that have faded away
I remember them like it was yesterday
Now, way back home

Way back home
Way back home

Oh, When the Lord decides to take me away
Hey, and let me rest in the land where I used to play
Oh, you know I miss that spice and ice cream cup
And the things that were part of my growing up
Now, way back home

Way back home
Way back home

Way back home
Way back home
