This one goes way back to the late 70s. Wrote it about a friend who was leaving town to live in Austin. Love the additional fiddle part.
lyrics
Oh Lord – Oh Please tell me – Where – Is my home. (CHORUS)
Oh Lord – Oh just tell me – Why – I must be all alone.
Well seasons come and go – year after year
Still I don’t know where I belong. (VERSE)
Now there’s a fair wind a blowin’ - in my ear
Telling me it’s time to move on.
And I told them – how much it meant – to be free
And they told me – that they’d always – remember me.
So, Oh Lord – Oh please tell me – Where – Is my home. (CHORUS)
Oh Lord – Oh just tell me – Why – I must be all alone.
Must I live an ordinary life – without hope? (BRIDGE)
Does it take someone so very long – to know?
Well I heard of a place – down around the bend (VERSE)
Where people are for real and so kind.
So I’ve made up my mind – to look in on a friend
And see - just what - I might find.
And I’ll tell them – how much it means – to be free
And I hope that – they’ll always – remember me.
So, Oh Lord – Oh please tell me – Where – Is my home. (CHORUS)
Oh Lord – Oh just tell me – Why – I must be all alone.
Must I live an ordinary life – without hope? (BRIDGE)
Does it take someone so very long – to know?
