Oh my soul craves to go home
to long island shores again
take me back to old north Walk?

to breathe in the harbor wind.

[CHORUS]

I'll be leaving Tennessee on the first plane
Sunday gone to my family reunion
There my father preached at the church

On the corner of Old Nickels Road
He raised four children in a green house
We are all well and now we are all grown


[CHORUS]


There my mother Sharron lies deep in the earth of the long island shores
I will visit her grave and plant yellow roses at her stone


[CHORUS]

I'll be leaving Tennessee on the first plane

Sunday gone to my family reunion
I'll be leaving
Gone to my family reunion

Oh my soul craves to go home.
