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)
