Bilingual
Mama's in the kitchen, baking up a pie
Daddy's in the backyard,"Get a job, son
You know you ought to try"
So I packed up my bag, I headed down the road
I got me a job from Henry Ford
But I made a mistake, I moved much too far
And now I know what the lonesome blues are
I'm getting lonesome, I'm getting blue
I need someone to talk to
I'm getting lonesome, I'm getting blue
Now let me tell you where I'm going to (yeah)
Yes, I'm going to my hometown
Sorry, baby, but I can't take you
Yes, I'm going to my home town
Sorry, baby, but I can't take you
Only got one ticket
You know I can't afford two
Yes, the day I left
I had a suitcase in my hand
The day I left
I had a suitcase in my hand
Keep on lookin', baby
I'm gonna cross America
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo-ooh
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo-ooh
Well, I'm going to my home town
I'm going to my hometown
I'm going to my hometown
I'm going to my hometown
Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go, baby?
Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go?
Thank you
The day I left
You know the rain was pouring down
The day I left
You know the rain was pouring down
I'm going home again, baby
I believe the sun's gonna come on out
Let's go homebound
Going to my home town
You know baby I gotta go
Going to my home town
You know I just have to go
I really love you, baby
I'll see you in a year, pretty babe, maybe yes
