Across the sea
By the Tennessee skyline
They told me I'd find my
Hopes and my dreams
But I long to be
In the bed of my true love
Back where I came from
She's waiting for me
So I make my way
Through long winding country roads
But my heart still beats
For my home and my English rose
I told my dad
On the phone «it's amazing
From the straight to the crazy the places I've been
I long to be
In the arms of my true love»
Like he loves my mother
He understands me
And I spend my days
Just traveling and playing shows
And my heart still beats
For my home and my English rose
I met a man
In the bar down in Munford
And he told me he went there to follow his dreams
He told me «son
You know I left my true love
For the same exact reason
You crossed the sea»
And I found truth
In people I've never known
And my heart still beats
For my home and my English rose
And my heart still beats
For my home and my English rose
And my heart still beats
For my home and my English rose
