Back Home Lyrics

Yeah yeah yeah
Well I'm going back this summer to Ohio
I'm gonna seek out all my friends I've always known
I'm goin' back to that farm that I remember
Well I'm goin' to spend this summer back home

Back home (back home, back home, back home)
I'll spend my summer (back home)
Back home (back home)

Back home (back home, back home, back home)
I'll spend my summer (back home)
Back home (back home)

I'm gonna get up every morning before the roosters
I'll run downstairs fix my breakfast all alone
I'll milk those cows feed the chickens and the horses
Well I'm gonna spend this summer back home

Back home (back home, back home, back home)
I'll spend my summer (back home)
Back home (back home)

Back home (back home, back home, back home)
I'll spend my summer (back home)
Back home (back home)

I'll eat everything that Ma puts on the table
When I get back you won't believe how I've grown
I'll hit the sack early everynight thinkin' 'bout tomorrow whoa oh
Well I'm gonna spend this summer back home
Back home, back home, back home

Back home (back home, back home, back home)
I'll spend my summer (back home)
That's what I'm gonna do that's where I'm gonna be, that's this summer
Back home (back home)

Back home (back home, back home, back home)
I'll spend my summer (back home)
Gonna get up, gonna get up, gonna get up every morning
Back home (back home)

Back home (back home, back home, back home)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'll spend my summer (back home)
Hey woo feels okay back home
Back home (back home)

Back home (back home, back home, back home)
I'll spend my summer (back home)
Back home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

As the late great Carl Wilson would agree, because he said so: giving Brian the supreme word on the quality of the Beach Boys' songs in this 'forgettable period' or music and letting him sing lead at all were regretable decisions. His voice has been terrible since his breakdowns in the later 60s and he should have never sung lead again. This song isn't that memorable but would have been much better with any of the other guys singing.

I love this track! Definitely one of the best off 15 Big Ones. The song actually dates back as early as 1963. There's also a 1969-70 version with Al on lead. Not sure I'd want to hear anyone but Brian on this one.
