The Road Home

Full moon risin` over Atlanta And I`m fourteen stories high Lookin` down on a street full of people Just like bees in a hive Lord sometimes I feel just like a number Like somebody lost my name I just couldn`t wait to get here to the city Now I can`t remember why I came Chorus: And the road home keeps on gettin` longer Old friends and yesterday`s are further away And that old home grown felling`s gettin` stronger Sayin` I`m gonna be a goner if I don`t go back someday Cattails growin` down by the river So crystal clear in my mind And there`s a song that I still remember Sung by the wind in the pines Lord the people ain`t never in a hurry Ain`t never bothered by time They just take their troubles and all of their worries And hang `em on the end of a fishin` line Chorus (times three) Sayin` I`m gonna be a goner if I don`t go back someday
