[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
So I'll make my way
Through long winding country roads
But my heart still beats
For my home and my English rose

[Verse 2]
I told my dad on the phone it's amazing
From the straight to the crazy, these places I've seen
But I long to be in the arms of my true love
Like he loves my mother, he understands me

[Chorus]
I'll spend my days
Just travelin' and playing shows
But my heart still beats
For my home and my English rose

[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
I met a man in a bar down in Memphis
He told me he went there to follow his dreams
And he told me, "Son, you know I lost my true love
For the same exact reason that you crossed the sea"

[Chorus]
And I found truth
In people I barely know
But my heart still beats
For my home and my English rose

[Outro]
Oh, my heart still beats
For my home and my English rose
Oh, my heart still beats
For my home and my English rose
