back to the banks of the Ohio,
to a little hometown curved
Right on the edge of the Dixon line,
right in the heart of this part of mine,
And there beneath the mountains,
in those green rolling hills
My memories come rolling down
With sweet dreams of yesterday
And even though I'm far away,
in my heart I'm homeward bound
Mail pouch barns and railroad tracks,
river barges and old smoke stacks,
but it's still mighty pretty to me.
The fishin' is good and the folks are real
And that mountain air will make you feel
Like there ain't no place on earth
Memories like a clear blue
Are runnin' through my mind
And fillin' up my dreams of that
My memories come rolling down
With sweet dreams of yesterday
And even though I'm far away
In my heart I'm homeward bound
Those memories bring me back around
Put my feet on solid ground
In my heart I'm homeward bound
