Lyrics:

My father's ashes lie
Hidden deep within Missouri woods,
Beneath the green spire linden tree
Where the whippoorwills sing.

But all my children know
Are the city sounds through bedroom window.
And they will never grieve
What you would have meant to them.

Chorus:
Missouri, Missouri
Where the Ozark mountains roll,
When my wandering has ended,
Won't you Show Me my way home?

All these years have come and gone,
But time and miles cannot erase
How I feel you deep inside my bones
Where I was born and raised.

(Chorus)
