Across the sea
By the Tennessee skyline
They told me I'd find my
Hopes and my dreams
I long to be
In the bed of my true love
Back where I came from
She's waiting for me
So I make my way
Through long winding country roads
But my heart still beats
For my home and my English rose
I told my dad
On the phone it's amazing
From the straight to the crazy the places I've been
I long to be
In the arms of my true love
Like he loves my mother
He understands me
And I spend my days
Just travelling and playing shows
And my heart still beats
For my home and my English rose
Ooooo-ooooooo-oooooh
Oooooo-aaaaaaa-aaaaaah
Oo-aaaaa-aaaaaa-aaaaaaah
I met a man
In the bar down in Memphis
And he told me he went there to follow his dreams
He told me "son
You know I left my true love
For the same exact reason
That you crossed the sea"
And I found truth
In people I've never known
And my heart still beats for my home and my English rose
And my heart still beats for my home and my English rose
And my heart still beats for my home and my English rose
