[05:26.00]I'm going back home where I was born
[05:26.00]First I planned to stay but I can't live this way
[05:26.00]I'm going back home where I was born
[05:26.00]Try to understand I think this city's grand
[05:26.00]But with all its charms give me a little country farm
[05:26.00]I'm going back home where I was born
[05:26.00]Oh yeah now, oh yeah, oh yeah now, oh yeah
[05:26.00]I tell you all about it, I think you ought to know
[05:26.00]Tell you all about it why I wanna go
[05:26.00]I miss the country preacher and the house of prayer
[05:26.00]I miss the bootlegger smelling in the air
[05:26.00]Miss friendly faces and the country smiles
[05:26.00]The crickets singing, you can hear it for miles
[05:26.00]I miss the rooster crowing at the break of dawn
[05:26.00]Yes it all happens where I was born
[05:26.00]Miss the fried chicken, colored greens
[05:26.00]Miss the hot biscuits and the Lima beans
[05:26.00]Miss the prayer meetings where people pray
[05:26.00]With the drum beating till the break of day
[05:26.00]You can have it, you can have it
[05:26.00]You can have it, you can have it
[05:26.00]You can have the town, I won't be around
[05:26.00]This here life's too fast but 'll never, never last
[05:26.00]I'm going back home where I was born
[05:26.00]I got to go home, got to go home
[05:26.00]Where the people are real, where people can feel
[05:26.00]Got to go down, got to go down
[05:26.00]Leave here today on my way so long, so long
[05:26.00]Going back home, going back home
[05:26.00]Got to go home, got to go home
[05:26.00]Got to go home, got to go home
[05:26.00]Where I, where I was born
