Lyrics

When I was just a little boy
That was a long time back
I'd go down to the tadpole hole
Down by the railroad track
Lord, Lord, down by the railroad track
I'd catch me a handful of crawdads
And I put 'em in an old tow sack
I wouldn't trade one single memory
For a big, big Cadillac, no
Just a poor old boy from Arkansas
You know my daddy was a preacher man
I cut my teeth on brimstone and fire
And my mama was the finest in this land
I said the finest in this land
And every Sunday morning
She'd sing "Jesus Hold My Hand"
I'd hear my daddy singing, "Hallelujah"
I loved that gospel man
Take me back to the old home
Take me back to where I used to roam
Take me back to the old home
'Cause I'm tired and weary
And I've been on this highway too long
Making front porch conversation
Passing away the time
Wondering if tomorrow
Will it rain or shine?
Lord, Lord, will it rain or shine?
I think I'll go down to the river
And drop my fishing line
But every time I lay my head down
Home is on my mind
Take me back to the old home
Take me back to where I used to roam
Take me back to the old home
'Cause I'm tired and weary
And I've been on this highway too long
Oh, oh, oh, oh
