Well, I've been from Boston to LA
Seen Boulder Dam and Frisco Bay
I've seen New York City and Washington
Seen Montreal and Saskatchewan
And Rhode Island
And I've worked in three
All night service stations
And I drove a truck
Take me home
My heart is heavy
And my feet are sore
Take me home
I don't wanna roam no more
Well, I slept all night
In a water trough
Had the flu and the croup
And the whooping cough
Had the mumps and the measles
And the seven years itch
And I can't count the times
That I've had a cold
And a sore throat
Not to mention all the times
That I cut my fingers
On a sardine can
Take me home
My heart is heavy
And my feet are sore
Take me home
I don't wanna roam no more
Well, I can see them all now
Just a gathering round
Mama's supper table
When the sun goes down
And my good old pappy
When the blessing is said
Filling up his plate
With black eyed peas
And all that stuff
And side meat
And a great big hunk
Of my dear sweet mama's
Hot buttered cornbread
Take me home
My heart is heavy
And my feet are sore
Take me home
I don't wanna roam no more
Take me home
My heart is heavy
And my feet are sore
Take me home
I don't wanna roam no more
