Oh, there's good 'n bad things  About the South, boy  Oh, and some leave a bitter taste  In my mouth, now    Yeah!  Like the black man livin' across the track  White man were on the other side  Holdin' him back  Way back home, now    Oh, but we won't talk about that  'Cause it's understood  Ev'rybody sees the bad  But what about the good?    Ooh, I'd give anything  Just to smell that scent  Of honeysuckle growin'  On a backyard fence  Way back home, now    'Oow!'    'Oh Heaven Scent, Ya'All!'        (Way back home)  Yeah, way back home  (Way back home)  Way back home, back home    I'd love to smell the wetness  Of grass and trees  And see ground kissed  By honey bees  Like way back home, now    Oh, but childhood days  Are dead 'n gone  Well, but the memories  Still linger on    Oh, have you ever gone swimmin'  In a muddy creek  With nothin' on your body  From head to feet?  Way back home, yeah    How much you'd pay for the game  Like hide an seek  Yeah!  And snake through the weeds  Overhear the streams    Well, I know some kids  Still play those games  But when they play  It just ain't the same  Like way back home    'Sad to sing it, ya'all!'    YEAH!  Way back home, way back home    (Way back home)  Way back    Oh, I really miss those things  That have faded away  I remember them  Like it was yesterday  Now, way back home    (Way back ho-ome)  (Way back ho-ome)    FADES:  Doo-doo, do-do  Doo-doo, do-ooo-do    (Way back ho-ome)  (Way back ho-ome).    ~
