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
