Thumbing for a ride by the edge of the road With a brown paper bag to hold my clothes But tonight i'm going home where i belong If the good lord's willing and the creek don't rise And if my luck holds out, and i catch me a ride When the sun goes down tomorrow, i should be home This big city ain't no kind of place For a country girl with a friendly face If you smile people look at your funny, they take it wrong
They laugh at my talkin' and clothes i wear They put me down and they call me square But tonight i'm going home where i belong Chorus: I'm goin' back to the people i love Back to the place that i dream of It's true that there's no place like home sweet home The one i want to see the most Is the boy who begged me not to go When the sun goes down tomorrow Tag: Tonight i'm going back where i belong
