Lyrics

Back in the days of my childhood

Reflecting on childhood memories

In the evening when everything was still

Describing quiet evenings in the past

I used to sit and listen to the foxhounds

Recalling moments of listening to foxhounds with the father

With my dad in the old Kentucky hills

Specifically with the father in the hills of Kentucky


I'm on my way back to the old home

Expressing a journey back to the old home

The road winds on up the hill

Describing the uphill path of the journey

But there's no light in the window

Noticing the absence of light in the old home's window

That shined long ago where I live

Referencing a past shining light in the home


Soon my childhood days were over

Transitioning from childhood to leaving home

I had to leave my home

Expressing the necessity of leaving the home

Mother and dad called to heaven

Mentioning the passing of mother and dad

I was left in this world all alone

Feeling left alone in the world after parents' departure


I'm on my way back to the old home

Reiterating the journey back to the old home

The road winds on up the hill

Reemphasizing the uphill nature of the road

But there's no light in the window

Noting the continued absence of light in the home's window

That shined long ago where I live

Recalling the past light that used to shine in the home


High in the hills of old Kentucky

Describing a cherished memory in the hills of Kentucky

Stands the fondest spot that's in my memory

Highlighting a special place in memory

I'm on my way back to the old home

Reiterating the journey back to the old home

The light in the window I long to see

Expressing a longing for the light in the home's window


I'm on my way back to the old home

Continuing the theme of returning to the old home

The road winds on up the hill

Repeating the uphill nature of the journey

But there's no light in the window

Reiterating the absence of light in the home's window

That shined long ago where I live

Recalling the past light that used to shine in the home


I'm on my way back to the old home

Affirming the ongoing journey back to the old home

The road winds on up the hill

Emphasizing the uphill path once again

But there's no light in the window

Reiterating the absence of light in the home's window

That shined long ago where I live

Recalling the past light that used to shine in the home
