Gone in the belt of the haze Only one black mile away Gone and I stare at the blaze Only one black mile away She was hoping to fly And a life without fear She was hoping to see All the answers so clear She was hoping for more Stranded here on the banks of Eden In paradise but inside I die Stranded here on the banks of Eden In paradise but it's hard to say goodbye Lost in the eye of the storm Only one black mile away Lost she went overboard Only one black mile away She was hoping for peace And redemption to come She was looking for grace And a place in the sun She was looking for more Stranded here on the banks of Eden In paradise but inside I die Stranded here on the banks of Eden In paradise but it's hard to say goodbye But it's hard to say goodbye, yeah Stranded here on the banks of Eden In paradise but inside I die Stranded here on the banks of Eden In paradise but it's hard to say goodbye Stranded here on the banks of Eden In paradise but inside I die Stranded here on the banks of Eden In paradise but it's hard to say goodbye Stranded here on the banks of Eden In paradise but inside I die Stranded here on the banks of Eden In paradise but it's hard to say goodbye

On the banks of the roses me love and I sat down And I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune In the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said "Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me" When I was a young boy I heard me father say That he'd rather see me dead and buried in the clay Sooner than be married to any runaway By the lovely sweet banks of the roses On the banks of the roses me love and I sat down And I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune In the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said "Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me" And then I am no runaway and soon I'll let them know That I can take a bottle or can leave it alone If her daddy doesn't like it, he can keep his daughter at home And young Johnny will go rovin' with some other On the banks of the roses me love and I sat down I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune In the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said "Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me" When I get married 'twill be in the month of May When the leaves they are green and the meadows they are gay And me and me true love we'll sit and sport and play By the lovely sweet banks of the roses On the banks of the roses me love and I sat down And I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune In the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said "Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me" On the banks of the roses me love and I sat down I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune In the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said "Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me" "Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me"

The hills were alive with wildflowers And I was as wild, even wilder than they For at least I could run, they just died in the sun And I refused to just wither in place Just a wild mountain rose needing freedom to grow So I ran, fearing not where I'd go When a flower grows wild, it can always survive Wildflowers don't care where they grow And the flowers I knew, in the fields where I grew Were content to be lost in the crowd They were common and close, I had no room for growth And I wanted so much to branch out So I uprooted myself from my home ground and left Took my dreams and I took to the road When a flower grows wild, it can always survive Wildflowers don't care where they grow I grew up fast and wild and I never felt right In a garden so different from me I just never belonged, I just longed to be gone So the garden one day set me free I hitched a ride with the wind, and since he was my friend I just let him decide where we'd go When a flower grows wild, it can always survive Wildflowers don't care where they grow Just a wild rambling rose seeking misteries untold No regret for the path that I chose When a flower grows wild, it can always survive Wildflowers don't care where they grow Wildflowers don't care where they grow

Lookin' outta my windowpane Tears minglin' with the rain I'm so lonesome I could cry, just like old Hank Starin' down on the city street Feelin' empty and incomplete There's a place I need to be to fill my tank A place I can go where I can be free Where I can be happy and just be me Home Where the warm wind's blowin' And the river's flowin' along Like a lazy bum in the midday sun And I've gone fishin' with my pole at the fishin' hole Where I can lay down my heavy load And know that I am always welcome home I left home I was seventeen I had a lot of ambitious dreams Seen a lot of those dreams come true I've had good luck I ain't complain' that's for sure I got a lot to be thankful for One of those things is a magic door that opens up Back to the time when I was a kid To the sounds of the crickets and the katydids It's called Home On the front porch swingin' And the fern pots hangin' Home With the church bells ringin' And voices singin' those Old songs that mend my mind like a stitch in time Where the tea is sweet and the love complete Oh me, I wanna go home I often think about where I have been Where I am goin' and that's about when I think about Home Where the soul finds comfort and the heart finds pleasure Home Where the depths of love is hard to measure It's home I hear you callin', I hear you callin' I'll never be lost as long as I know There's place like that where I can go Where I can restore my weary soul On the mountain slopes and the soft blue smoke Of home Home sweet home Home Back to the hills with the whippoorwills of Home With the fireflies blinkin' and the night stars winkin' Home Honeysuckle vine and Muscadine wine at Home Where the ginseng grows in the shady groves of Home With family and friends and joy that never ends Home There's no place like it, no place like it Home
