Rain drains through the sand
Packin' them roots so deep
The pines need the sunshine
To let the birding sing them hymns so sweet
Never thought I'd have me
A yellow plate for my truck
Always been a north boy
The jersey devil has taken my love
I miss those hardwoods of home
Those hardwoods of home
One more nightmare
I'm gonna turn my pillow it's warm
One more daydream
Of runnin' them hills and the mud back home
I miss those hardwoods of home
The sap sticks to my hands
The wood burns cold as hell
The sand that walks beneath me
Leads me back to my blonde bombshell
The wind blows hard every season
Looking for a spark to burn down the pinelands
Leave nothing but coal-charred bark
One more nightmare
I'm gonna turn my pillow it's warm
One more daydream
Of runnin' them hills and the mud back home
I miss those hardwoods of home
