back on my stompin' ground (after hours)

i've been bitten

lord

i've been stung. well i was cornered

and i was almost hung. well

i sure made a getaway

and i'm

almost back on my stompin' ground. well

it's been written

many

many times it's been sung. well

it's well learned by the old folks

and unheeded by the young. well

the grass may be greener but

me

i just want my stompin' ground. yeah. well

i hear the river's swollen

the bridge is broken down. weatherman's heartbroken

but even he can't stop me now. won't you tell the folks i'm leaving

and i won't be long. keep the door wide open

and you will hear the train i'm on. i've been bitten

lord i've been stung. well that's alright i'm going back

to my old stompin' ground. drenched by the rain

almost blinded by the sun. i'm too awake for walkin'

but i'm much too tired to run. i just want to let my feet sink

deep in my stompin' ground. well

i been jailed

last week i was sprung. well

it's in the morning paper

i've been lookin' all around. well

i'm just gonna dig in my heels

see how it feels. i'm going back to my stompin' ground. my old stompin' ground
