When I was a child
Sitting on my daddy's knee
He leaned over
And whispered sweet words to me
I'll never forget them
And all the things he said
I'm always reminding myself
Why I'm the man I am
You can leave
Have a family and move along
Make your money
Singing the same old songs
You can go away
Find somewhere you belong
You'll never be to far along
To come back home
I've traveled the world
I've seen a many of things
Smiles and faces
Received many cheers waves
It's never compared to the way that I used to feel
I then think back to the words that I used to hear
(He said)
You can leave
Have a family and move along
Make your money
Singing the same old songs
You can go away
Find somewhere you belong
You'll never be to far along
To come back home
You can leave
Have a family and move along
Make your money
Singing the same old songs
You can go away
Find somewhere you belong
You'll never be to far along
To come back home
To come back home
To come back home
