I´ve been all around this great big world to Paris and to Rome
And I´ve never found a place that I could really call my own
But there´s one place where I know the sun is shining endlessly
And it´s calling me across the sea so I must get back to San Bernardino
I remember when I was sixteen my daddy said to me
"You could travel around this universe until eternity
But you´ll never find that peace of mind that you´ve been dreaming of
Not until you finally decide to come on home to San Bernardino"
Oh I´m longing for San Bernardino,
Oh I´m longing for San Bernardino
I´ve been all along the water right up to the Rio Grande
And I´ve never found that paradise they call the promised land
I was young and foolishly I thought the world was at my feet
But I´m no different now and so I´m homeward bound for San Bernardino
Well I´m older and I´m wiser and I see the light of day
And I think it´s time to realize my dreams have gone astray
But I´ve tried so hard to reach that star that was so far away
So now I got to find that road that´s leading home to San Bernardino
Oh I´m longing for San Bernardino,
Oh I´m longing for San Bernardino
