When I sit back and reminisce
And I remember my first kiss
And I remember Amy and Jane
And growin’ up on Melody Lane

Cruisin’ around smokin’ cigarettes
I had a lot of fun and few regrets

I may be a long way from home
But I remember where I come from
Traveled thousands of miles down the road
But I remember where I come from

I remember the “Beast of Burden”
And I remember my town Virden
Sittin’ on the Island watchin’ boys drive by
We’d talk about everything, laugh and cry

And I remember my best friend Joan
How we talked for hours on the phone

I may be a long way from home
But I remember where I come from
Traveled thousands of miles down the road
But I remember where I come from

I still go back and visit now and then
And all my memories come back again

I may be a long way from home
But I remember where I come from
Traveled thousands of miles down the road
But I remember where I come from
