I've Got to Go Back Home

I've got to go back home

This couldn't be my home

It must be somewhere else

Or I would kill myself, 'cause

I can't get no clothes to wear

Can't get no food to eat

I can't get a job to get bread

That's why I've got to

I've got to go back home (even if I've got to walk)

I've got to go back home

I've got to go back home

There is no gladness

Nothing but sadness

Nothing like a future here, I've got to

I got to leave this land I've got to find myself on some other side

I just can't stand this life of living

Lord, I can't get no clothes to wear

Can't get no food to eat

I can't get a job to get bread

That's why I've got to

I've got to go back home (even if I've got to walk)

I've got to go back home (even if I've got to cry)

I've got to go back home

I've got to go back home, Lord

This couldn't be my home

It must be somewhere else

Or I would kill myself, 'cause

I can't get no food to eat

I can't get no clothes to wear

I can't get a job to get bread

That's why I've got to

I've got to go back home (if I've got to walk)

I've got to go back home

I've got to go back home (even if I have to run)

I've got to go back home
