Long Island Shores

Oh, my soul craves to go home

To long island shores again

Take me back to old north pole

To breathe in the harbor wind

I'll be leaving Tennessee on the first plane

Sunday gone to my family reunion

There my father preached at the church

On the corner of Old Nickels Road

He raised four children in a green house

We are all well and now we're all grown

I'll be leaving Tennessee on the first plane

Sunday gone to my family reunion

There my mother Sharron lies deep

In the earth of the long island shores

I will visit her grave

And plant yellow roses at her stone

I'll be leaving Tennessee on the first plane

Sunday gone to my family reunion

I'll be leaving

Gone to my family reunion

Oh, my soul craves to go home
