Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, let me hear again those wonderful sounds
Thinking of way back then, oh, how I can remember when
We had a lot of friends, take me back again
Take me back again to my hometown
I wanna hear again that sweet old sound
The only happiness I ever found is back in my hometown
Turn back the hands of time, the memories of yours and mine
Just let me walk around through the streets of the town
'Cause when I feel alone, I think about the folks back home
All those forgotten friends, take me back again
Take me back again to my hometown
I wanna hear again that sweet old sound
The only happiness I ever found is back in my hometown
Take me back again to my hometown
I wanna hear again that sweet old sound
The only happiness I ever found is back in my hometown
Take me back again to my hometown
I wanna hear again that sweet old sound
The only happiness I ever found is back in my hometown
Take me back again to my

This is exactly how I feel about the man I married when we were teenagers. Life is so amazing when you get to share it with another loving soul. Getting older is the greatest gift, too. It helps you see everything you have so clearly. Taking the words of "The Plan" seriously, was the best plan I ever made for my life, Donny, and I have your family to thank for it. God Bless You Today and Every Single Day. You are a true gift from God.

Oh boy, my tears are out of control. I swear this song was wrote for my husband and I. Our lives have never been the same since 9/11. Word for word very appropriate song for today. I truly want to go back! Thank you Donny.

Hauntingly beautiful. Definitely brings memories flowing back; simpler times....so is it possible for every song on this album to be a fav? Every time I think Iβve found my #1 tune, I hear another one. π³ Great way to spend a restful under-the-weather day.
