It's been ten long and lonely years since I've been to my hometown

I saw fame and fortune which I finally found

Everyone at home may know me and they say that I'm a big man

A hometown boy that made good and he's back home again

But there's a face in my mem'ry that's stands out from all the rest

A face of someone special the girl I still love best

Well I asked my mom about Jeannie she said she married yesterday

Please don't try to see her son it had to be this way

Then my eyes fill with tears as I turn back the years

To a love I once had when she was mine

Jeannie Norman was her name and I'd give up all my fame

Just to hold Jeannie close one more time

Then my eyes fill with tears...

Just to hold Jeannie close one more time
