Black Oak Arkansas Back to the Land Lyrics

INTRO:
D ---------0h2---2---3-------2--2h3-3-2-----3-2-0-----
VERSE:
I woke up one morning to a world that was grey
Sunshine was gone and the birds had flown away
I wanted to be in the early mountain dew
Where big city lights are oh so few
CHORUS:
Back to the land where the water runs free
Back in those hills is where I want to be
Oh dear Lord please take me there
Oh let me breathe your sweet fresh air
VERSE:
I'm homesick for the land
That I used to plow
Please dear Lord get me there somehow
Back to the land that I'm so fond of
You can hear the birds a singin'
In the blue sky up above
VERSE:
This breeze I long for has tall green trees
With birds you had flowers
and a warm summer breeze
Is where I want to be in the early mountain dew
Where big city lights are oh so few
CHORUS:
Back to the land where the water runs free
Back in those hills is where I want to be
Oh dear Lord please take me there
Oh let me breathe your sweet fresh air
CHORUS:
Back to the land where the water runs free
Back in those hills is where I want to be
Oh dear Lord please take me there
Oh let me breathe your sweet fresh air
