In Dreams I Go Back

In dreams, I go back to the mountains I love

Before houses were built on the ridges above

Now the timber's all gone and the mountain's so bare

To the old folks at home, it all seems so unfair

The highways, they came through the farms and the coast

No trace that remains where the corn used to grow

Sweet memories hide the ruins and the rust

As I have gone back to the mountains I love

Lost in my dreams in a place that's no more

Where I once played at Heaven's backdoor

Loved ones gone home (Home, home) to the glory above

In dreams, I go back to the mountains I love

It breaks my heart to see what they've done

The fields are all gone where I used to run

Money and greed, but it's never enough

Oh, I hate what they've done to the mountains I love

Lost in my dreams in a place that's no more

Where I once played at Heaven's backdoor

Loved ones gone home (Home, home) to the glory above

In dreams, I go back to the mountains I love

In dreams, I go back to the mountains I love
