Stewart, Rod - Way Back Home Lyrics






I was just a little boy without care
I remember looking up and seeing you there
I never wandered too far from your sight
Cause all the love I needed was there in your eyes

We grew up in a war zone city with a cast iron wind
Broken lives, darken streets, and twisted steel
But around our house the sky seems so blue
And on a wing and prayer we just muddled through

And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I shall live
And I'll always find my way back, always find my way back home

Tell me why in wars that made our family strong
As our defiant little Island weathered the storm
There's never seemed enough on my plate
You said: "Be grateful, say grace, don't complain."

How can I ever thank you for the lessons that I've learnt
And the precious warmth and comfort that I've felt at every turn
And the roses sacrifice their lives for freedom and for peace
I will always find my way back, always find my way back home

I'll give you stories, operation burning skies
And our Nation with its back against the wall
Like a wide-eyed schoolboy I hang on with the war
Stories I was too young to recall

And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I should live
And I'll always find my way back, always find my way

And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I should live
And I'll always find my way back, always find my way back home

[Churchill's background-ending speech:]
"We shall fight on the beaches,
We shall fight on the landing grounds,
We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets,
We shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender..."

    Respect-Honor- Pride... God Bless You Rod Stewart. I have loved you and your singing from day one...

  61. R.... B....

    He should be remembered as a very warm and very talented songwriter, but most of all... Wow...WHAT A VOICE! It's not just raspy, it's actually layered dimensional harmonics that is so rare it's almost non-existent. He has a one of a kind voice!

  62. A.... ....

    👏👏👏

    Great Britain Emperial Become WWII

  64. �.... G....

  65. R.... C....

    Lovely song

  66. L.... L....

    Rod Stewart really return at his best, hope that Another Country isn't his last album.

  67. S.... B....

    Happy Memorial Day.   Rod is talking about WWII in England.  I must include America and all the precious men and women who gave their life for our freedom, including my father.  I will never forget the 1960's and his map of Laos and Vietnam where he was headed towards and the reasons whey he was doing so. He believed in JFK and gave his life for our country.

  68. J.... C....

    I have that c.d. Great song

  69. C.... D....

    My mom passed away yesterday morning. And she always loved rod Stewart.

    C.... D....

    Cecelia Dalian I'm so sorry

  70. m.... m....

    This song was totally amazing but heartbreaking...😎😍 but the story tells how it is the young boy who grew was so thankful nd never forget those beautiful memories nd kindness he had when no one can give it to him

  71. M.... G....

    I trust he now pays his British taxes with the same patriotic fervour. After forty years as a tax exile so he didn’t have to pay into the NHS and social care system that looked after the old people he seems to be so grateful to...

  72. P.... S....

    Im falling in love with you Rod

  73. M.... ....

    so beautiful and breathtaking! Loving this a little more than Rhythm of My Heart!

  74. m.... ....

    Rod Stewart just made me cry. Wow. What a beautiful song from a sweet man.

  75. p.... ....

    beautiful song.

  76. D.... C....

    I'm 13 years old and thanks to my dad I know this kind of music. Rod is a legend.

  77. r.... s....

    How do I say this ? A song that only some of us will understand .but to the young will mean nothing

  78. L.... L....

    2 years later, and Another Country without doubts still one of best albums of last years, and of Rod Stewart best.

    I know that you Rod are 72 years old, but with Time and "Another Country" You left us want for more.

    Congrats....

  79. O.... T....

    Rod Rod Stewart sempre fantástico ♥

  80. C.... L....

  81. M.... A....

    perdon Robert por ver este video sin tu permiso

  82. G.... B....

    🇬🇧🇧🇷

  83. C.... D....

    Rod was my very first concert. I grew up listening to him and my children will too. It's funny because my mom had pictures of her and my brother and sister at a rod concert then a signed picture of him on the wall. We'd ask my one year old nephew who's that and he'd say rod Stewart. Haha. Even he knows who he is. My moms always been obsessed

  84. C.... L....

    great song to all war 1 2 and our British solders

  85. J.... P....

    My first listen to this song brought tears to my eyes. Memories of my late mum who grew up in Folkestone Kent. (and her many stories of dashing out to wave a hanky for the spitfires coming back across the channel.) Brilliant song! Rod, has the knack with his voice and songs of touching the soul! <3

  86. O.... P....

    \(@_@)/

  87. L.... B....

    hot rod rocks

  88. D.... ....

    This is not just a song - this is an ANTHEM - I've been a fan for 37 years now and I rank this one into the top 3 ever.

  89. C.... L....
