I've been all around this great big world
To Paris and to Rome
And I've never found a place that I
Could really call my own
But there's one place where I know
The sun is shining endlessly
And it's calling me across the sea
So I must get back to San Bernadino
I remember when I was sixteen
My daddy said to me
"You could travel round this universe
"Until eternity,
"But you'll never find that peace of mind
"That you've been dreamin' of,
"Not until you finally decide
"To come on home to San Bernadino."
Chorus
Oh, I'm longin' for
San Bernadino
Oh, I'm longin' for
San Bernadino
I've been all along the water
Right up to the Rio Grande
And I've never found that paradise
They call the promised land
I was young and foolishly
I thought the world was at my feet
But I'm no different now and so
I'm homeward bound for San Bernadino
Well I'm older and I'm wiser
And I've seen the light of day
And I think it's time to realise
My dreams have gone astray
But I've tried so hard to reach that star
That was so far away
So now I gotta find that road
That's leading home to San Bernadino
Chorus
