VERSE: CFC I woke up one morning to a world that was grey GFC Sunshine was gone and the birds had flown away FC I wanted to be in the early mountain dew GFC Where big city lights are oh so few
CHORUS: AmGFC Back to the land where the water runs free AmGFC Back in those hills is where I want to be AmGFC Oh dear Lord please take me there AmGFC Oh let me breathe your sweet fresh air
VERSE: C I'm homesick for the land FC That I used to plow GFC Please dear Lord get me there somehow FC Back to the land that I'm so fond of G You can hear the birds a singin' FC In the blue sky up above
VERSE: CFC This breeze I long for has tall green trees G With birds you had flowers FC and a warm summer breeze FC Is where I want to be in the early mountain dew GFC Where big city lights are oh so few
CHORUS: AmGFC Back to the land where the water runs free AmGFC Back in those hills is where I want to be AmGFC Oh dear Lord please take me there AmGFC Oh let me breathe your sweet fresh air
CHORUS: AmGFC Back to the land where the water runs free AmGFC Back in those hills is where I want to be AmGFC Oh dear Lord please take me there AmGFC Oh let me breathe your sweet fresh air
