[Verse 1]
Gee, but it's great to be back home
Home is where I wanna be
I've been on the road so long, my friend
And if you came along, I know you couldn’t disagree

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the same old story, yeah
Everywhere I go
I get slandered, libelled
I hear words I never heard in the Bible

[Chorus]
And I'm one step ahead of the shoeshine
Two steps away from the county line
Just trying to keep my customers satisfied
Satisfied

[Verse 2]
Deputy Sheriff said to me
"Tell me what you come here for, boy
You better get your bags and flee
You're in trouble, boy, and now you're heading into more"

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s the same old story
Everywhere I go
I get slandered, libelled
I hear words I never heard in the Bible
