My Ozark Mountain Home Lyrics

Well, the Colorado aspens

Are blowin' in the wind

And the California redwoods

Grow so high they never bend

And when the sun sets over Kansas

It may never ever end

But as I watch the sun go down

My heart longs to hear once again

How the whippoorwill is callin' me

To the place I long to go

Where the hills roll through the valleys

Down into the Buffalo

Slow and steady are the voices

That I hear whene'er I roam

They remind me of where I come from

My Ozark mountain home

From the dogwoods in the springtime

To the whitetail in the fall

The neighbors on the front porch

Just in case I come to call

Mom and dad live down the dirt road

Oh I've missed them most of all

I think it's time to quit my wanderin'

And go back, back where I belong

Where the whippoorwill is callin' me

To the place I long to go

Where the hills roll through the valleys

Down into the Buffalo

Slow and steady are the voices

That I hear whene'er I roam

They remind me of where I come from

My Ozark mountain home

Oh my mind, it wanders back

To runnin' barefoot in the yard

And grandma yellin'

"It's dinner time, come on"

Hands joined 'round the table

Giving thanks with grateful hearts

Then we'd fall asleep

While crickets sing their song

Hummin' right along...

Hmmmmmmm

Oh the whippoorwill is callin' me

To the place I long to go

Where the hills roll through the valleys

Down into the Buffalo

Slow and steady are the voices

That I hear whene'er I roam

They remind me of where I come from

They remind me of where I come from

Down the holler, where my heart will always run

To my Ozark mountain home
