Oh no, get down baby
Mmm, quit it
Yeah hey, let's talk about it
You see I'm sittin' in a hotel in New York City
Trippin' out on the thoughts in my mind
A country boy, boy in the city
Blinded by its neon sign
You see I'm thinkin' 'bout a young man
Did everything that he could
To raise four kids and a wife
In the back of the woods
Oh I remember, I remember well
We didn't want for nothin'
Though his pay was small as hell
I'm just sittin' here all alone
My mind's goin' back to Morgantown, North Carolina
I'm just sittin' here all alone
And my mind's goin' back to where I was born, now
North Carolina
Oh no, no, no
Alright
Oh it's just a green faced small place
In the land of Carolina
God just sat it there
And we just happened to find it
I'd like to set the time back
While my mind's that way
Say hello to some old friends
With whom I used to play
I'm just sittin' here all alone
And my mind's goin' back to Morgantown, North Carolina
I'm just sittin' here all alone
And my mind's goin' back to where I was born, y'all
North Carolina, North Carolina, yeah
ย
Ah ha, suddenly I wakened to reality I found
That I was still in the rat race
Of a great big city town
I'm just sittin' here all alone
And my mind's goin' back to Morgantown, North Carolina y'all
I'm just sittin' here all alone
And my mind's goin' back to where I was born, y'all
North Carolina, North Carolina
Green faced small place
God, sweet land of God
North Carolina
