Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The roads are the dustiest
The winds are the gustiest
The gates are the rustiest
The pies are the crustiest
The songs are lustious
The friends are the trustiest
[Verse 2]
Way back home
Back home
[Verse 3]
The trees are the sappiest
The days are the nappiest
The dogs are the yappiest
The kids are the scrappiest
The jokes, the snappiest
The folks, the happiest
[Verse 4]
Way back home
[Verse 5]
Don't know why
I left the homestead
I really must confess
I'm a weary exile
Singing my song
Of loneliness
[Verse 6]
The grass is the springiest
The bees are the stingiest
The birds are the wingiest
The bells are the ringiest
[Verse 7]
The hearts
The hearts the singiest
The arms
The arms the clingiest
[Verse 8]
Way back home
[Verse 9]
What about the sun
The suns the blaziest
And the fields
The fields are daiseous
And the cows
Cow the graziest
And the help
The helps the laziest
The boys
Are the wittiest
The girls
Are the prettiest
[Verse 10]
Way back home
[Verse 11]
The pigs are the snootiest
The owls are the hootiest
The plants are fruitiest
Stars the shootiest
The grins the funniest
The smiles the sunniest
[Verse 12]
Way back home
[Verse 13]
Don't know why
I left the homestead
I really must confess
I'm a weary exile
Singing my song
Of loneliness
[Verse 14]
The food is the speadiest
The wine is the headiest
The pals are the readiest
The gals are the steadiest
The love the liveliest
The life the loveliest
[Verse 15]
Way back
[Verse 16]
Way back
[Verse 17]
Way back home
[Verse 18]
No place like home
[Verse 19]
Sweet home
