Across the sea
By the Tenessee skyline
They told me I'd find my hopes and my dreams
But I long to be
in the bed of my true love
Back where I came from, she's waiting for me
So I'll make my way
Through lone 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 craziest places I've been
But I long to be
in the arms of my true love
like he loves my mother, he understands me
I spend my days
Just travelling and playing shows
And my heart still beats
for my home and my English rose
Uuuuuuuuuh
Uuuaaaaaaah
Uuuaaaaaaah
I met a man
in a bar down in Memphis
and he told me he went there to follow his dreams
And he told me "son
You know I lost my true love
For the same exact reason that you crossed the sea"
And I found truth
in people I barely know
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
