I got a long way to go, to get to where I want to be
Back in my baby's arms, back home in Tennessee
So I keep on rollin', trying to make that money and pay my dues
Yeah there's nothing I rather do than be there with you
I've got the homesick blues
Waking up in the morning in a dingy hotel room
Out the door and on bus, we'll be in Memphis by noon
It's a fast paced life, better put on your running shoes
Yeah there's nothing I'd rather do than be there with you
I've got the homesick blues
This life I lead is wearing on me, it seems I'm always alone
I can't wait to get to the next town and call my baby on the phone
It's a crazy way of living, rambling and drinking too much booze.
Yeah there's nothing I'd rather do than be there with you
I've got the homesick blues
Sounds crazy but it's true, but baby I'm in love with you
I've got the homesick blues
