Lyrics
You know, there's an old saying that' been around quite some time.
If I can remmeber it says:
'You can take the boy out of the country,
But you sure can't take the country out of the boy.'
Now I might be broke as a matter of fact,
I am ain't got crying dime to my name,
But I got a good girl that sits close
By my side that's what I'm tellin' y'all.
I could never be happy on a hill
With a whole lot of money, girl
It just don't feel like it did with you
In a little old shack girl,
Way down home across the railroad tracks
Take me home, sweet home
That's where my heart is
Oh, I want to go home, sweet home
That's where my heart is
Some folks groove on big Cadillacs
Fancy clothes and stuff like that
I was perfectly happy as I can be
But she'd play, and my cheatin' way
Take me home, sweet home
That's where my heart is
Oh, I want to go home, sweet home
That's where my heart is
Yeah yeah yeah
Ooh baby
Might not never become a millionaire
But long as I got your heart, I don't care
I might be down and out, got holes in my shoes
But I still feel as rich as Howard Hughes
"Take me home' to me that says a whole lot
No, I want to go home I wonder if you
Ever felt like that, felt like you was all by your
Self and had no one to talk to, have you ever
Felt like that? If you ever felt like that, that
Means you can say, yeah,
Say yeah yeah yeah yeah"
Home, that's where my heart is
I can't get you in the back of my mind
'Cause that's where my heart is
Take me home, sweet home
That's where my heart is
I've got to, I want to go home, baby
That's where my heart is
Got to, got to, got to, oh
I've gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta
Wanna go home baby
No no no
