| 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 |
