The Road Home

Full moon risin' over Atlanta And I'm fourteen stories high Lookin' down on a street full of people Just like bees in a hive Lord sometimes I feel just like a number Like somebody lost my name I just couldn't wait to get here to the city Now I can't remember why I came And the road home keeps on gettin' longer Old friends and yesterday's are further away And that old home grown felling's gettin' stronger Sayin' I'm gonna be a goner if I don't go back someday Cattails growin' down by the river So crystal clear in my mind And there's a song that I still remember Sung by the wind in the pines Lord the people ain't never in a hurry Ain't never bothered by time They just take their troubles and all of their worries And hang 'em on the end of a fishin' line And the road home keeps on gettin' longer Old friends and yesterday's are further away And that old home grown felling's gettin' stronger Sayin' I'm gonna be a goner if I don't go back someday And the road home keeps on gettin' longer Old friends and yesterday's are further away And that old home grown felling's gettin' stronger Sayin' I'm gonna be a goner if I don't go back someday And the road home keeps on gettin' longer Old friends and yesterday's are further away And that old home grown felling's gettin' stronger Sayin' I'm gonna be a goner if I don't go back someday Sayin' I'm gonna be a goner if I don't go back someday
