Take Me Home

[Verse I] Way back in 75 I was still young. Good lookin' wife round-face towheaded son Hunting season and the fever was up Ol' man Fetterman said let's load up the truck We drove the truck down to Bloomburg, P. A. Felt good to finally find a place to stay Carried our rifles right through the hotel Back then no one blinked, no one said "what the hell?" [Chorus] Take me home where I used to roam Back to old P. A. that was once my home I wanna bag a deer where my grandpap did I wanna run around where I did as a kid [Verse ii] Grandpa found his spot, dad went where told Settling in for the day, braced against the cold 30 minutes later dad heard what must be a shot Rushed toward the sound, found him in his spot... Standing there frozen with a knife in hand Dad stood amazed and could barely understand Shot straight through a tree and then the deer's neck Shrugged at Grandpa grinning there asked "what the heck?" [Chorus] Take me home where I used to roam Back to old P. A. that was once my home I wanna bag a deer where my grandpap did I wanna run around where I did as a kid [Verse iii] Grizzled old timer came meandering by... Eyed these two greenhorns thought he knew why Offered to dress the deer by the Susquehanna River All the old man wanted for his trouble was the liver. The two younger men made a carrying pole Carried on their shoulders way back to the road Loaded up the truck and done for the day Rode along in silence nothing left to say... [Chorus] Take me home where I used to roam Back to old P. A. that was once my home I wanna bag a deer where my grandpap did I wanna run around where I did as a kid Take me home, to the Keystone State Take me back to the land before it's too late Take me to the fields where we worked and played One last look at home where we laughed and prayed... Take me home
