Dear Hearts And Gentle People

I love those dear hearts and gentle people
Who live in my home town
Because those dear hearts and gentle people
Will never ever let you down
They read the good book from Fri' till Monday
That’s how the weekend goes
I’ve got a dream house I’ll build there one day
With picket fence and ramblin' rose
I feel so welcome each time that I return
That my happy heart keeps laughin' like a clown
I love the dear hearts and gentle people
Who live and love in my home town
There’s a place I’d like to go and it’s Batten, Idaho
Where your friendly neighbors smile and say Hello
It’s a pleasure and a treat to meander down the street
That’s why I want the whole wide world to know
I love those dear hearts and gentle people
Who live in my home town
Because those dear hearts and gentle people
Will never ever let you down
They read the good book from Fri' till Monday
That’s how the weekend goes
I’ve got a dream house I’ll build there one day
With picket fence and ramblin' rose
I feel so welcome each time that I return
That my happy heart keeps laughin' like a clown
I love the dear hearts and gentle people
Who live and love in my home town
Home, home sweet home
Home, home sweet home
