Well I've been from Boston to LA
Seen Boulder Dam and Frisco Bay
I seen New York City and Washington
Seen Montreal and Saskatche wan
And Rhode Is land
And I've worked in three all night service stations
And I drove a tr uck
T ake me h ome
M y heart is heavy and my feet are s ore
T ake me h ome
I don't wanna roam no m ore
Well I slept all night in a water trough
Had the flu and the croup and the whoopin' cough
Had the mumps and the measles and the seven years itch
And I can't count the times that I've had a cold
And a sore throat
Not to mention all the times that I cut my fingers
On a sardine can
Well I can just see 'em all now just a gatherin' round
Mama's supper table when the sun goes down
And my good old pappy when the blessing is said
Fillin' up his plate with black eyed peas and all that stuff
And side meat
And a great big hunk of my dear sweet mama's
Hot buttered cornbread
