Gotta Get Myself Back Home

(album: Willie Remembers - 1972)

I'll be alright in the morning
When I get myself back home
I been gone such a long long time
Getting weary being on my own

I just got to get myself back home
Back to the place I know I once belonged

Well I been working, I'm a river man
Driving down the mighty river bed
An' after thirty-six days on a [?] barge
You know a body gets in need of a friend

I just got to get myself back home
Back to the place I know I once belonged

My body's aching and the sun's on my back
And the captain's really bringing me down
My woman, she wrote, said she needs me tonight
And I'm hoping we won't be long

Well I just got to get myself back home, back home
You know I got to get back to the place I once belonged

Hey I've got to get back
I just got to get myself back home
Back to the place I know I once belonged
I know I once belonged
I just got to get myself back home
I wanna get home
Back to the place I know I once belonged
