I'm a rambler and a rover

and a wanderer it seems

I've traveled all over

chasing after my dreams

But a dream should come true

and a heart should be filled

and a life should be lived

in the piney wood hills



I'll return to the woodlands

I'll return to the snow

I'll return to the hills

and the valley below

I'll return like a poor man

or a king if God wills

but I'm on my way home

to the piney wood hills



I was raised on a song there

I done right I done wrong there

and it's true I belong there

and it's true it's my home



From ocean to ocean

I've rambled and roamed

and soon I'll return

to my piney wood home

Maybe someday I'll find

someone who will

love as I love my piney wood hills



I was raised on a song there

I done right I done wrong there

and it's true I belong there

and it's true it's my home



I'll return to the woodlands

I'll return to the snow

I'll return to the hills

and the valley below

I'll return like a poor man

or a king if God wills

but I'm on my way home

to the piney wood hills.
