[Chorus]
I wanna go back
To the land of the king
I'm on my own, I'm all alone, won't you take me back home
To the land of the king

[Verse 1]
I miss the river, I miss my home
I miss my woman, I miss the morning sun on my face
No matter where I roam it ain't got the same soul
As it do down Memphis way, yeah

[Verse 2]
I had a dream
I took a boat
I hit a rock
On the sea of color
I crash-landed on an island by myself
By myself

[Chorus]
I wanna go back
To the land of the king
I'm on my own, I'm all alone, won't you take me back home
To the land of the king
[Verse 3]
Yeah there on the wall is written some of the greatest songs
That our father used to sing, yeah
Walk in the sand, float down the river
Become a man, it'll give you shivers
If you could only see it
If you could only see

[Chorus]
I wanna go back
To the land of the king
I'm on my own, I'm all alone, won't you take me back home
To the land of the king

[Chorus]
I wanna go back
To the land of the king
I'm on my own, I'm all alone, won't you take me back home
To the land of the king
