Thumbing for a ride by the edge of the road

With a brown paper bag to hold my clothes

But tonight i'm going home where i belong

If the good lord's willing and the creek don't rise

And if my luck holds out, and i catch me a ride

When the sun goes down tomorrow, i should be home

This big city ain't no kind of place

For a country girl with a friendly face

If you smile people look at your funny, they take it wrong

They laugh at my talkin' and clothes i wear

They put me down and they call me square

But tonight i'm going home where i belong



Chorus:



I'm goin' back to the people i love

Back to the place that i dream of

It's true that there's no place like home sweet home

The one i want to see the most

Is the boy who begged me not to go

When the sun goes down tomorrow
