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 my name in the big city lights And daddy, you know your boy will 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, searchin' for 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 Ooh, Lord, take me home Get on down the road now A cul-de-sac and a U-Haul I'm gonna make it back to Georgia 'fore the dew fall A six pack, and a half a pack of Pall Malls Red wine, the kind that give ya lock jaw Old tires ain't seen dirt roads in a while But the grass getting green so I know I'm in the south Old backwood fiend, man, there ain't no doubt I was born in the south, go on 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? Lord, take me home Thank God I was born in the south (born in the south) Country folk gon' ride on out (ride on out) Ooh, Lord take me home Thank God I was raised in the south (raised in the south) Country folk gon' ride on out (ride on out) Now we're back roads cruising on a two path lane Stopping by the field, checkin' out the sugar cane Rollin' down by the creek, switch it off and just listen Now roads ain't found on your navigation system Stop and look at the deer track 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 touch a black top 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 Thank God I was born in the south (born in the south) Country folk gon' ride on out (ride on out) Ooh, Lord take me home Thank God I was raised in the south (raised in the south) Country folk gon' ride on out (ride on out)
