My eyes have seen a million pretty things In the world and in a girl In the gold Sun sinkin' in the deep blue sea But nothin' compares to the rolling hills of green Birthplace of the first love that was given to me I am headed to the yard of God The heart of Tennessee Treasure of the world Home sweet home to me My ears have heard a million morin' birds Sad songs, sing along Hey, a few that nobody's ever heard But none as loud as the song they're singin' out Tellin' my mama on the mountain I am Appalachia bound I am headed to the yard of God The heart of Tennessee Treasure of the world Home sweet home to me I am headed to the yard of God The heart of Tennessee Treasure of the world Home sweet home to me
