I'm going back home where i was born

First i planned to stay but i can't live this way

I'm going back home where i was born



Try to understand i think this city's grand

But with all its charme give me the little country farm

I'm going back home where i was born



Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah now oh yeah

I tell you all about it i think you ought to know

Tell you all about it why i wanna go



I miss the country preacher and the house of prayer

I miss the bootlegger smelling in the air

Miss friendly faces and the country smiles

The crickets singing you can hear it for miles



Miss the rooster crowing at the break of dawn

Yes it all happens where i was born

Miss the fried chicken colored greens

Miss the hot biscuits and the lima beans

Miss the prayer meeting where the people pray

With the drum beating till the break of day



You can have it you can have it

You can have it you can have it

You can have thy town i won't be around

This here life's too fast but 'll never never last



I'm going back home where i was born

I got to go home got to go home

Where the people are real people can feel

Got to go down got to go down

Leave here today on my way so long so long

Going back home going back home

Got to go home got to go home

Got to go home got to go home

Where i where i was born
