Brian Hyland

Brian Hyland (born November 12, 1943) is an American pop recording artist who was particularly successful during the early 1960s. He continued recording into the 1970s. Allmusic journalist Jason Ankeny states, "Hyland's puppy-love pop virtually defined the sound and sensibility of bubblegum during the pre-Beatles era." Although his status as a teen idol faded, he went on to release several country-influenced albums and had further chart hits later in his career. more »

I'm afraid to go home
I'm afraid to go home
Worries on my mind
Afraid of what I'll find

Will my family be gone
I'm afraid to go home
Back to Tennessee
Afraid of what I'll see

As I walk down this dusty road
Got a heart with a heavy load
Ain't a thing that's the same
So much sorrow and pain

Heading home in a single file
Every inch is a quarter mile
Ain't heard nobody sing
Ain't seen one living thing

Someone's waiting for me
Honey sweet as can be
Wanna hold her tight
Lord, make her be all right

Maybe 'round the next bend
All the ashes'll end
Valleys will be green
Instead of what I've seen

I'm afraid for the scrubby pine
Aw, the sweet honeysuckle vine
I'm afraid for my home
For the fields that I roamed

Kick along down a homeward road
And your heart's gotta take the load
I'm afraid to go home
I'm afraid to go home

Sherman's been in my town
Burned it all to the ground
Now there's not a tree
'Tween Memphis and the sea
Now there's not a tree
'Tween Memphis and the sea
