[Verse 1]
I'm going back home where I was born
First, I planned to stay but I can't live this way
I'm going back home where I was born
[Verse 2]
Try to understand I think this city's grand
But with all it's charm, give me the little country farm
I'm going back home where I was born
[Bridge]
Oh yeah now, oh yeah, oh yeah now, oh yeah
I'll tell you all about it, I think you ought to know
Tell you all about it, why I wanna go
I miss the country preacher and the house of prayer
I miss the bootlegger smelling in the air
Miss friendly faces and the country smiles
The crickets singing, you can hear it for miles
I miss the rooster crowing at the break of dawn
Yes, it all happens where I was born
Miss the fried chicken, collard greens
Miss the hot biscuits and the lima beans
Miss the prayer meeting where the people pray
With the drum beating 'til the break of day
You can have it, you can have it
You can have it, you can have it
I'm going back home where I was born
First, I planned to stay but I can't live this way
I'm going back home where I was born
[Verse 2]
Try to understand I think this city's grand
But with all it's charm, give me the little country farm
I'm going back home where I was born
[Bridge]
Oh yeah now, oh yeah, oh yeah now, oh yeah
I'll tell you all about it, I think you ought to know
Tell you all about it, why I wanna go
I miss the country preacher and the house of prayer
I miss the bootlegger smelling in the air
Miss friendly faces and the country smiles
The crickets singing, you can hear it for miles
I miss the rooster crowing at the break of dawn
Yes, it all happens where I was born
Miss the fried chicken, collard greens
Miss the hot biscuits and the lima beans
Miss the prayer meeting where the people pray
With the drum beating 'til the break of day
You can have it, you can have it
You can have it, you can have it
