Song – Shenandoah On My Mind

Lately all I seem to do is dream of going home
To the Shenandoah Valley where a man don’t feel so all alone
Every time I hit these city streets I know just what I’ll find
I’m weary of the city, I need somewhere green and pretty
I guess I’ve got old Shenandoah on my mind
I’ve got old Shenandoah on my mind

I’d like to say it’s a bright new day but it hurts my face to smile
I’ve got an itch for going home that’d fill a country mile
I’m so lost here in this city I might just as well be blind
I need a change of scenery, need that old Virginia greenery
Guess I’ve got old Shenandoah on my mind
Got old Shenandoah on my mind

Going home is growing in my mind
Going back to see the friends I left behind
There’s a mist down in the holler
Overhead the stars are shinin’
Take me home, take me home

Yesterday the air turned cool I guess that winter’s coming on
It’s so cold here in this city I guess it’s time this child is gone
Go and sit beside a fireplace the good old country kind
I feel like splittin’ wood and stackin’ it by a fire warm and cracklin’
Guess I’ve got old Shenandoah on my mind
Got old Shenandoah on my mind

Going home is growing in my mind
Going back to see the friends I left behind
There’s a mist down in the holler
Overhead the stars are shinin’
Take me home, take me home

Lately all I seem to do is dream of going home
To the Shenandoah Valley where a man don’t feel so all alone
Every time I hit these city streets I know just what I’ll find
I’m weary of the city, I need somewhere green and pretty
I guess I’ve got old Shenandoah on my mind
I’ve got old Shenandoah on my mind

I need somewhere green and pretty, I’m weary of the city
Yes I got old Shenandoah on my mind
I’ve got old Shenandoah on my mind
