My home ain't in the Hall of Fame You can go there, but you won't find my name And my songs don't belong on Top 40 radio I'll keep the old back 40 for my home Ain't no truck-drivin' man Baby, I hitchhike all I can I know the highway It takes me where I need to go I got a sunburned thumb Yeah, I'm just a highway bum Playin' my guitar and fall in love some more My home ain't in the Hall of Fame You can go there, but you won't find my name And my songs don't belong on Top 40 radio
I'll keep the old back 40 for my home Some friends I left behind You know, some have left me cry in' And some have stayed right up there by my side It's good to have a home Sometimes it's good to be alone You know, it sure feels good just to Keep your good friends high My home ain't in the Hall of Fame You can go there, but you won't find my name And my songs don't belong on Top 40 radio I'll keep the old back 40 for my home
