Björn I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
How I wish this road would take me home where I belong
‘Cause I have found no other place where I would stay
I’m tired and grown, my dreams have failed along the way
I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
Though I wonder what my folks would think about me now
I guess I’ve changed, like people do when things go wrong
But in the end, somehow I know, we’ll get along
Pa-papapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Santa Rosa I’ll be back to stay
Pa-papapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I’m on my way
Pa-papapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Santa Rosa I’ll be back to stay
Pa-papapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
How I wish to see the old house where I used to live
And all my friends, will they be there when I come home
How I regret the day when I set up to go
Pa-papapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Santa Rosa I’ll be back to stay
Pa-papapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I’m on my way
Pa-papapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Santa Rosa I’ll be back to stay
Pa-papapa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
(I’d give anything to be back home)
I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
(I’d give anything to be back home)
I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
(I’d give anything to be back home)
I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
(I’d give anything to be back home)
I’d give anything to be back home
