[Verse 1]
I left my old hDome, to ramble this country
My mother and dGad, said son don't go wrDong.
Remember that GGod, will always watch oDver you.
And we will be waAiting, for you here at hDome.
[Chorus]
Son don't go aGstray, was what they both Dtold me.
Remember that loAve, for God can be fouDnd.
But now they're both gGone, this letter just tDold me.
DFor years they've been dAead, the fields have turned brown.
[Verse 2]
For many long yDears, I've travelled in sorrow.
No thought of the Gday, when I would reDturn.
Now as I come hGome, and find no one waDiting,
the price I have pAaid, to live and to lDearn.
[Chorus]
Son don't go aGstray, was what they both Dtold me.
Remember that loAve, for God can be fouDnd.
But now they're both gGone, this letter just tDold me.
DFor years they've been dAead, the fields have turned brown.
