as i look out on the sunrise on the indiana skyline and its rays are resting heavy on my face i think about the days i spent just wishing i was home again instead of always traveling place to place i ve been homesick because i ve laid deep roots in indiana soil where i spent up all my youth and i ve been waiting just to be back home again and feel the indiana sun shine on my skin as i look out on the sunset and i try hard not to forget all the memories that i made while i was here i think of all the friends i ve made and all the people i should thank for lessons i have learned over the years i ve been homesick because i ve laid deep roots in indiana soil where i spent up all my youth and i ve been waiting just to be back home again and feel the indiana sun shine on my skin home is where the heart s been waiting oh so patient just to hear the sound of the back door open it s always open i ve been hoping just to find my way back here again because i ve been homesick because i ve laid deep roots in indiana soil where i spent up all my youth and i ve been waiting just to be back home again and feel the indiana sun shine on my skin and feel the indiana sun shine on my skin
