Take Me Home

Well I've been from Boston to LA
Seen Boulder Dam and Crystal Bay
Been to New York City and Washington
Saw Montreal and Saskatchewan, and Rhode Island
And I've worked in three all night service stations and drove a truck

Take me home, my heart is heavy and feet are sore
Take me home, I don't wanna roam no more

Well I slept all night in a water trough
Had the flu and croup and the whooping cough
Had the mumps and the measles and the seven year itch
And I can't count the times that I've had a cold, and sore throat
Not to mention all the times that I've cut my fingers on sardine can

Take me home, my heart is heavy and feet are sore
Take me home, I don't wanna roam no more

Well I can see 'em all now just a gathering 'round
Momma's supper table when the sun goes down (When the sun goes down)
And my good ol' pappy when the blessing's said
Filling up his plate with black eyed peas (With black eyed peas), mmm inside me
And the great big hump of my dear sweet momma's hot buttered cornbread

Take me home, my heart is heavy and feet are sore
Take me home, I don't wanna roam no more
Take me home
