There's a place I recall
Not too big, in fact it's kind of small
The people there say they got it all
The simple life for me
Hele on to Kaua'i, Hanalei by the bay
Wailua river valley is where I used to play
The canyons of Waimea standing all alone
The magic of the garden isle is calling me back home
When I was young and not too smart
I left my home looking for a brand new start
To find a place thats better still
But now I know, I know I never will
(Chorus)
