Lyrics
I'm flying across the ocean and I'm soaring
I am traveling across the ocean and soaring.
Back home to the place I was born
Returning to the place of my birth.
And probably raised and I'm flying
Probably returning to where I was raised, still flying.
Across the mountains and valleys
Soaring over mountains and valleys.
Back home to the one that I love so happily
Heading back home to the person I love joyfully.
Can ya' blame me for feeling homesick
Expressing a feeling of homesickness, can't be blamed.
'Cause I've been away such a very long, long time
Been away for a very long time.
I served a while in the county jail
Served time in county jail.
Five years for, for being hungry tired and poor
Received a five-year sentence for being hungry, tired, and poor.
On and on, woh woh woh
Continuing journey, expressing a sense of perseverance.
You know, I will follow
Expressing commitment to follow.
With your buttons and your bows
Mentioning buttons and bows, possibly symbolic elements.
On and on, and on and on and on
Repeating the commitment to follow, emphasizing continuity.
You know, I will follow
Reiteration of the commitment with a mention of buttons and bows.
With your buttons and your bows
On and on
-You know I will follow
Continuing commitment to follow, mentioning buttons and bows again.
With your buttons and your bows
I'm flying across the ocean
Reiterating the act of flying across the ocean.
Goin' home, woh woh woh
Heading home with a melodic expression (woh woh woh).
