There’s snow blowing over the border of Iowa
Two inches already in Osceola
I’m going back to Earleton some of these days
Going back to Earleton some of these days
Warm in the winter, scrub pine trees
Cypress swamps, short shirt-sleeves
Going back to Earleton some of these days
I’m going back to Earleton some of these days
Somebody I’ve loved since I remember
Waits for me there however far I wander
I’m going back to Earleton some of these days
Going back to Earleton some of these days
Somebody I know won’t forget me
When the cold wind stings me here on the prairie
Going back to Earleton some of these days
I’m going back to Earleton some of these days
Someday I’m gonna leave this cold behind me
You can look down South if you want to try and find me
I’m going back to Earleton some of these days
Going back to Earleton some of these days
Where the sun shines hot and it never freezes
Let my skin go dark, feel the ocean breezes
Going back to Earleton some of these days
I’m going back to Earleton some of these days
