Words and Music by James Taylor
(c) 1976, 1980 Country Road Music

Now you country fools in your one-horse town, you can laugh at me
It’s plain as rain that you’ve never been down to the southern sea
To see me now is like watching a fish on dry land
I only wish you could see me down in the is- lands
Mister, that’s my home
What a fool I was to leave the only happiness I’ve [C/D]known.

You see me comin’, you wink your eye and call me Captain Jim
And when I don’t do nothin’ but to walk on by you say,
“Baby get a load of him.”
All I need is the sea and the sky and I know where I stand
instead of you hicks straight out of the sticks deciding I ain’t a man
You’ll never understand;
Up here I’m just a whiskey bum but down there I’m a king
It sounds just like the angels up in heaven when they sing:
”Welcome home, welcome home.” – Such a sight to see
instead of some Salvation [G/B]Army sister singin’
“[C/D]Nearer My God to Thee.”

Now I know that the Yankee whiskey is takin’ away my mind
and I know that run is the only drink suitable to man-kind
And I know that this tree I’m under is shaped entirely wrong
I need to see a gentle palm tree and I won’t wait too long
I can feel that it’s comin’ on strong
The first cold wind of winter is flappin’ in my clothes
Showin’ me the way with the direction that it [C/D]blows.
Welcome home, welcome home, let it blow. (repeat and fade)
