Mama's in the kitchen baking up a pie. 
Daddy's in the backyard, "Get a job, son, 
You know you ought to try". 
I packed up my bag, I headed down the road, 
I got me a job from Henry Ford. 
But I made a mistake, I moved much too far 
And now I know what the lonesome blues are...
I`m getting lonesome, I'm getting blue, 
I need someone to talk to. 
I`m getting lonesome, I'm getting blue, 
Let me tell you where I'm going to...
 
Yes I'm going to my home town, 
I don't care ever even if I have to walk. 
Yes I'm going to my home town, 
I don't care even if I have to walk. 
I gotta move on now baby, I got no more time left to talk. 
 
Yes I'm going to my home town, 
Sorry but I can't take you. 
Yes I'm going to my home town, 
Sorry but I can't take you. 
Only got one ticket, you know I just can't afford two. 
Take me home. 
 
The day I left, 
You know the rain was pouring down. 
The day I left, 
You know the rain was pouring down. 
I'm going home again baby, 
I believe the sun's gonna come on out. 
Let's go home, boy, let's go home. 
 
Yes I'm going to my home town, 
You know baby I gotta go. 
Going to my home town, 
You know I just have to go. 
I really love you, woman, 
I'll see you in a year, maybe no, maybe yes. 
 
Going to my home town, 
I'm going to my home town, 
Going to my home town, 
Going to my home town.
