The 1974 song "Back Home Again" contains the phrase, "Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend". It is a phrase in the popular song that was written and performed by the American singer-songwriter John Denver (December 1943 – October 1997).

"Back Home Again" was released as a single from Denver's album of the same name. The song "Back Home Again" peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in November of 1974; it was Denver's fifth Top 10 hit on the pop chart. The song also topped the US Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks Chart for two weeks.

The song was the first of three number ones on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles Chart. It stayed for just a single week. The song was also later certified a gold record by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), a trade organization that represents the recording industry in the US.

In 1975, this song won a Country Music Association (CMA) Award for Denver in the category "Song of the Year". He was also named "Entertainer of the Year" at the same ceremony. This honor prompted country pop singer Charlie Rich to light the envelope on fire after reading that Denver had won—in an apparent insult to Denver's musical style and image.
