Well I got here to this Empire State,
Been three years now, it ain’t goin’ great.
Hey now Mister don’t you like my song?
Sorry boy but it’s way too long!

I came to this town lookin’ for gold,
But all I’m doin’ here is gettin’ old.
This city life well ain’t for me,
I gotta get back to Tennessee.

I’m goin’ home,
Take me home,
I gotta get back home.
Gotta get back home

Goin’ back to see my Betty Lou,
That’s all I wanna do.
I’m goin’ leave, gonna throw in the towel,
I’m goin’ back home to see my gal.

I’m gonna buy me a ticket home,
I’m so tired of bein’ alone.
I guess I’m just all out of luck,
I’m goin’ downtown and catch me a bus.

I’m goin’ home,
Take me home,
I gotta get back home.
Take me home, baby.
Take me home.
Ohh, baby, take me home.

I didn’t make it but I really don’t care,
I know my sweetheart is waitin’ back there.
Gonna get home and back on the job,
Workin’ at the store with my brother Bob.

Marry my girl and have me some kids,
Just the way my kin folks did.
Just bein’ happy, well that’s the key,
A little piece of heaven in Tennessee.

I’m goin’ home,
Take me home,
I gotta get back home.
Gotta get back home

I’m goin’ home,
Take me home,
I gotta get back home.
I gotta get back home…
