i got to pack and go going back where i come from
and the folks i really know
down home way down home
i got to say goodbye
how i miss the taste of grandma's potato pie
and the pretty girls come in bunches
and they never treat you wrong
down home way down home
watermelon costs but a dime
and the fish by the river
they jump they jump on your line
i got to go you see
city life can never take the country out of me
so i'm going back where i come from
and i never gonna roam
from home way down home
and the fish down by the river
jump on your line
i got to go you see
anyone who asks for me
tell them i have gone back home
gonna fall back with that living
and i'm never gonna roam
from home way down home
down home way down home
down home way down home
