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 it's charm
Give me the little country farm
I'm going back home where I was born

Oh yeah now, oh yeah, oh yeah now, oh yeah
I'll 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
I miss the rooster crowing at
The break of dawn
Yes, it all happens where I was born
Miss the fried chicken, collard greens
Miss the hot biscuit's and the lima beans
Miss the prayer meeting where the people pray
With the drum beating 'til the break of day
You can have it, you can have it
You can have it, you can have it

You can have your town, I won't be around
This here life's too fast, would never
Never last

I'm going back home (Going back home)
Where I was born (Going back home)
I got to go home (Going back home)
Got to go home (Going back home)
Where the people are real (Going back home)
People can feel (Going back home)
Got to go down (Going back home)
Got to go down (Going back home)
Leave here today (Going back home)
On my way (Going back home)
So long (Going back home)
So long (Going back home)
Going back home (Going back home)
Going back home (Going back home)
Got to go home (Going back home)
Got to go home (Going back home)
Got to go home (Going back home)
Got to go home (Going back home)
Where I where I was born (Where I was born)
