Brian Hyland - I'm afraid to go home lyrics

Brian Hyland

Title: I'm afraid to go home

----------------------

I'm afraid to go home, I'm afraid to go home

Worries on my mind, afraid of what I'll find

Will my family be gone? I'm afraid to go home

Tennessee, afraid of what I'll see

As I walk down this dusty road, got a heart with a heavy load

one thing that's the same, so much sorrow and pain

Headin' home in a single file, every inch is a quarter mile

Ain't heard nobody sing, ain't seen one livin' thing

Someone's waitin' for me, honey sweet as *can be*

Wanna hold her tight; Lord, make her be all right

Maybe 'round on next bend, all the ashes *will end*

Valleys will be green instead of what I've seen

I'm afraid for the scrubby pine, for the sweet honey

suckle vineI'm afraid for my home, for the fields that I roamed

Kick along down a homeward road, and your heart's gotta take the load

I'm afraid to go home, I'm afraid to go home

Sherman's been in my town, burned it all to the ground

Now there's not a tree 'tween Memphis and the Sea

there's not a tree 'tween Memphis and the Sea
