Country Road

My country road, take me home

Take me to the place where I was born

My country road, take me home

Back to the place where I come from

My country road, take me home

Take me to the place where I was born

My country road, take me home

Just how long have I been gone?

Lord, take me home

Ooh, Lord, take me home

I say bye to my folks as I pack my clothes

Mama, don't cry, I was born to go

You gon' see me name in the big city lights

And, Daddy, you know your boy'll be alright

I thought the big city life was the place for me

But things ain't always what they cracked up to be

Fell flat on my back, such a fool of my soul

Now I'm headed back down my country road

My country road, take me home

Take me to the place where I was born

My country road, take me home

Back to the place where I come from

My country road, take me home

Take me to the place where I was born

My country road, take me home

Just how long have I been gone?

Lord, take me home

Lord, take me home

Get on down the road now

Mmm

I got a sack in the U-Haul

I'm gonna make it back to Georgia 'fore the dew fall

A 6-pack and a half a pack of Pall Malls, red wine

The kind that give ya lockjaw

Old tires, ain't seen dirt road in a while

But the grass gettin' green, so I know I'm in the south

Old Backwood fiend, man, there ain't no doubt

I was born in the south, gon' take me to the house

My country road, take me home

Take me to the place where I was born

My country road, take me home

Back to the place where I come from

My country road, take me home

Take me to the place where I was born

My country road, take me home

Just how long have I been gone?

Ooh, Lord, take me home

Thank God I was born in the south

Country folk gon' ride on out (Mmm, Lord, take me home)

Thank God I was born in the south

Country folk gon' ride on out

Now, backwoods cruisin' on a two-path lane

And stoppin' by the field, checkin' out the sugarcane

Rollin' down by the creek, switch it off and just listen

Now, roads ain't found on your navigation system

Stoppin', lookin' at deer tracks

Grabbin' me a beer from the back

.30-06 By my side

Can you feel that?

A right at the chicken pen

A left at the back lodge

We made it to the river

And we never touched a blacktop

My country road, take me home

Take me to the place where I was born

My country road, take me home

Back to the place where I come from

My country road, take me home

Take me to the place where I was born

My country road, take me home

Just how long have I been gone?

Ooh, Lord, take me home

Thank God I was born in the south

Country folk gon' ride on out (Mmm, Lord, take me home)

Thank God I was raised in the south

Country folk gon' ride on out
