Intro: In my dreams I hear the wildcat whine And I smell the rain on long-leaf pine You know I toss and moan Outside my window is a flashing sign It lights my room, ten steps by nine Sandy loam, sandy loam, I’m coming home Sandy loam, is where I’m bound That’s what I am, right down to the ground That bottom land soil, they call black gold Is calling me back home It was a silver city on a silver screen That took the mind of a child from his fields of green A long time ago But that stone and steel is hard and cold It's a chill I feel right down to my soul Sandy loam, sandy loam, I’m coming home Sandy loam, sandy loam, I’m coming home
