Lyrics
East of the Colorado,
The rainbow will lead the way.
Behind me, I see the mountains.
Many miles I’ve roamed,
Been travelin’ alone,
I get the feeling now I’m goin’ home.
East of the Great Missouri,
The moonlight will lead the way.
Behind me, I see the prairie.
My eyelids feel like stone,
No time to rest my bones.
I get the feeling now I’m almost home.
The sounds of the forest,
The trickle of the stream,
The sunset on the water,
As I’m livin’ my daydream.
In the pond the shepherds will play.
I remember it that way.
East of the Mississippi,
The sunrise will lead the way.
Yonder, I see the flatlands.
I haven’t far to go,
I yearn for what I know,
I headed back to settle on Ohio because I’m Ohio grown.
I miss the rolling hillsides on the land I call my own.
I get the feeling now I’m nearly home.
