Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I long to go back
Where the space is wider
To ride from horseback
And roll my own smokes
Longing to go back
Where people seem politer
To say hello
In evening I'll go
[Verse 2]
I've been away so long
I think this is the right road
But it's changed so much
I know for sure
Yes, the day will come
And I'll be on the right road
I'm saying hello
In evening I'll go
[Verse 3]
I can send off a letter to 'em
But that would be no surprise
No, I got to wait
Wait for that look in their eyes
And I'll sit by the creek
Where the water runs cool
And I know I'll have such a good time
I'm saying hello
In evening I'll go
[Verse 4]
I can smell the coffee brewing
I'll take mine black
You know it's good
It's good to be back
Go on tell me how
You folks been doing
I'm saying hello
In evening I'll go
[Verse 5]
Hey Bill, won't you tell me
When the train does stop
I wanna get off
And say hello
To a couple of people
I think I still know
And I ain't one
To mince my words
[Verse 6]
I'll take a piece of the cake
That they make
I can't be late
You got to get
What's on the plate
[Verse 7]
I can smell the coffee brewing
I'll take mine black
You know it's good
It's good to be back
Go on tell me how
You folks been doing
I'm saying hello
In evening I'll go
[Verse 8]
Hey Bill, won't you tell me
When the train does stop
I wanna get off
And say hello
To a couple of people
I think I still know
And I do too
[Verse 9]
And I ain't one to mince my words
I'll take a piece of the cake
That they make
I can't be late
You got to get
What's on the plate
[Verse 10]
Yodel-lay-e-hoo
Yodel-lay-e-hoo
Yodel-lay
Yodel-lay-e-hoo
Oh, ho
Yodel-lay-e-hoo
Yodel-lay
[Verse 11]
I'm saying hello
In evening I'll go
Give me some room
You can't do it too soon
