Back Where I Belong
Darryl Worley
Album: I Miss My Friend
Song Writers: Darryl Worley, Steve Leslie, Randy Hardison
I worked hard and learned a lot on this one. It may not be right in some places, but its progress.
I saw Darryl do this song at the Tennessee River Run in Pickwick Tn. He cried and dedicated it
to his brother. I know how he feels.
