I left my Adirondack home about a year ago
I met up with bad company, the kind you shouldnât know
I learned to drink and gamble, turned out to be a bum
Now Iâm tired of roaminâ around and Iâm gonna be back home
Thereâs a path that leads back to my Adirondack home
Iâm goinâ back tonight, and I never more will roam
I can see my mother there, for her boy she says a prayer
And she waits in her arm chair in my Adirondack home
Now dad has left this cruel world for heaven up above
Leaving mother all alone with thon and me to love
But I left my little home, found nothinâ short of pain
I know that I was wrong and Iâm goinâ back again
Thereâs a path that leads back to my Adirondack home
Iâm goinâ back tonight, and I never more will roam
I can see my mother there, for her boy she says a prayer
And she waits in her arm chair in my Adirondack home
[Break]
Now that you heard my story, donât ever leave your home
When your mother needs you so donât you ever start to roam
Donât disappoint your mother for someday sheâll be gone
Whenever youâre away, donât forget this little song
Thereâs a path that leads back to my Adirondack home
Iâm goinâ back tonight, and I never more will roam
I can see my mother there, for her boy she says a prayer
And she waits in her arm chair in my Adirondack home
