I love those dear hearts and gentle people
Who live in my hometown
Because those dear hearts and gentle people
Will never ever let you down

They read the good book from Fri till Monday
That's how the weekend goes
I've got a dream house I'll build there one day
With picket fence and ramblin' rose

I feel so welcome each time I return
That my happy heart keeps laughing like a clown
I love the dear hearts and gentle people
Who live and love in my hometown

There's a place I'd like to go and it's back in Idaho
Where you're friendly neighbors smile and say hello
It's a pleasure and a treat to meander down the street
That's why i want the whole wide world to know

I love those dear hearts, I love the gentle people
(Who live in my hometown)
Because those dear hearts and gentle people
Will never ever let you down

Read the good book from Fri till Monday
That's how the weekend goes
I've got a dream house I'll build there one day
With picket fence and ramblin' rose
I feel so welcome each time that I return
That my happy heart keeps laughing like a clown
I love the dear hearts and gentle people
Who live and love in my hometown

(Home, home sweet home)
(Home, home sweet home)
Home, home sweet home
