Peggy Lee - Way Back Home lyrics

The roads are the dustiest
The winds are the gustiest
The gates are the rustiest
The pies are the crustiest the songs
The songs the lustiest the friends
The friends the trustiest way back home

The trees are the sappiest
The days are the nappiest
The dogs are the yappiest
The kids are the scrappiest the jokes
The jokes the snappiest and the folks
The folks the happiest way back home
I don't know why I left the homestead
I really must confess i'm just a weary exile
Singing my song of loneliness

The grass is the springiest
The bees are the stingiest
The birds are the wingiest
The bells are the ringiest the hearts
The hearts the singiest the arms
The arms the clingiest way back home

The sun is the blaziest
The fields are the daisiest
The cows are the graziest
The help is the laziest the boys
The boys the wittiest the girls
The girls are prettiest way back home

The pigs are the snootiest
The owls are the hootiest
The plants are the fruitiest
The stars are the shootiest the grin
The grins the funniest the smiles
The smiles the sunniest way back home
I don't know why I left the homestead
I really must confess i'm just a weary exile
Singing my song of loneliness

The homefood's the spreadiest
The old wine the headiest
The old pals the readiest
The home gals the steadiest the love
The love the liveliest the life
The life the loveliest way back home
