[Verse 1]
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
How I wish this road would take me home where I belong
'Cause I have found no other place where I will stay
I'm tired and all my dreams have failed along the way

[Verse 2]
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
Though I wonder what my folks would think about me now
I guess I've changed, like people do, when things go wrong
But in the end, somehow I know, we'll get along

[Chorus]
Santa Rosa, I'll be back to stay
I'm on my way
Santa Rosa, I'll be back to stay

[Verse 3]
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
How I wish to see the old house where I used to live
And all my friends, will they be there, when I come home?
How I regret the day when I set out to roam

[Chorus]
Santa Rosa, I'll be back to stay
I'm on my way
Santa Rosa, I'll be back to stay

[Outro]
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
(I'd give anything to be back home)
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
(I'd give anything to be back home)
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
(I'd give anything to be back home)
I'd give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
(I'd give anything to be back home)
I'd give anything to be back home in...

ABBA

ABBA are one of the greatest pop outfits in history. Their blend of lush orchestrations and light, bouncy europop was both unique and commercially appealing, taking much of the world by storm.

The band name is a member-centric acronym – Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad.

Their meteoric rise was sparked by their famed Eurovision performance of original song “Waterloo”, which caused them to win the 1974 competition in Sweden.
