Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm dreaming tonight
I'm leaving back home
[Verse 2]
Right
Take me back to south Tallahassee
Down across the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy
Can't stand up on my feet in the city
Got to get back to the real nitty gritty
[Verse 3]
Yes sir, no sir
Don't come close to my home sweet home
Can't catch no dose of my hot tail poon tang
Sweetheart sweathog
Ready to make a silk purse from a J. Paul Getty
And his ear
With her face in her beer
[Verse 4]
Home sweet home
[Verse 5]
Get out in the field, put the mule in the stable
Ma, she's a-cookin', put the eats on the table
Hate's in the city and my love's in the middle
Hands on the plow and my feets in the ghetto
[Verse 6]
Stand up, sit down, don't do nothing
Ain't no good when boss man's
Stuffin' it down their throats
With paper notes
And the babies cry
While cities lie at their feet
When you're rockin' the street
[Verse 7]
Home sweet home
[Verse 8]
Mama, take me home sweet home
I was a last child
Just a punk in the street
I was a last child
Just a punk in the street
I was a last child
Just a punk in the street
I was a last child
Just a punk in the street
I was a last child
Just a punk in the street...
