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 shinin' endlessly

And it's callin' me

across the sea

so, I must get back

to San bernadino

I remember

when I was sixteen

my Daddy said to me

you can 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

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 see the light of day

and I think it's

time to realise

my dreams have gone astray

But I tried so hard

to reach that star

that was so far away

for now I got to find that

road that's leadin' home

to San bernadino

Oh... I'm longin' for

San bernadino

Oh... I'm longin' for

San bernadino
