Song Lyrics

My country road take me home
Take me to the place where I was born
My country road take me home
Back to the place where I come from
My country road take me home
Take me to the place where I was born
My country road take me home
Just how long have I been gone?
Lord, take me home
Ooh, Lord, take me home

I say bye to my folks as I pack my clothes
Mama don't cry, I was born to go
You gon' see my name in the big city lights
And daddy, you know your boy will be alright
I thought the big city life was the place for me
But things ain't always what they cracked up to be
Fell flat on my back, searchin' for my soul
Now I'm headed back down my country road

My country road take me home
Take me to the place where I was born
My country road take me home
Back to the place where I come from
My country road take me home
Take me to the place where I was born
My country road take me home
Just how long have I been gone?
Lord, take me home
Ooh, Lord, take me home

Get on down the road now
A cul-de-sac and a U-Haul
I'm gonna make it back to Georgia 'fore the dew fall
A six pack, and a half a pack of Pall Malls
Red wine, the kind that give ya lock jaw
Old tires ain't seen dirt roads in a while
But the grass getting green so I know I'm in the south
Old backwood fiend, man, there ain't no doubt
I was born in the south, go on take me to the house

My country road take me home
Take me to the place where I was born
My country road take me home
Back to the place where I come from
My country road take me home
Take me to the place where I was born
My country road take me home
Just how long have I been gone?
Lord, take me home

Thank God I was born in the south (born in the south)
Country folk gon' ride on out (ride on out)
Ooh, Lord take me home
Thank God I was raised in the south (raised in the south)
Country folk gon' ride on out (ride on out)

Now we're back roads cruising on a two path lane
Stopping by the field, checkin' out the sugar cane
Rollin' down by the creek, switch it off and just listen
Now roads ain't found on your navigation system
Stop and look at the deer track
Grabbin' me a beer from the back
30.06 by my side, can you feel that?
A right at the chicken pen
A left at the back lodge
We made it to the river and we never touch a black top

My country road take me home
Take me to the place where I was born
My country road take me home
Back to the place where I come from
My country road take me home
Take me to the place where I was born
My country road take me home
Just how long have I been gone?
Lord, take me home

Thank God I was born in the south (born in the south)
Country folk gon' ride on out (ride on out)
Ooh, Lord take me home
Thank God I was raised in the south (raised in the south)
Country folk gon' ride on out (ride on out)
