Rory Gallagher - Goin' To My Hometown lyrics

rate me

Mama's in the kitchen bakin' up a pie<br />

Daddy's in the backyard<br />

Get a job, son<br />

You know you ought to try<br />

<br />

I packed up my bag, I headed down the road<br />

I got me a job from Henry Ford<br />

But I made a mistake, I moved much too far<br />

And now I know what the lonesome blues are<br />

<br />

I'm getting lonesome, I'm getting blue<br />

I need someone to talk to<br />

I'm getting lonesome, I'm getting blue<br />

Now let me tell you, now let me tell you<br />

Now let me tell you, now let me tell you<br />

Now let me tell you where I'm going to<br />

<br />

Yes I'm goin' to my hometown<br />

Sorry baby, I can't take it all<br />

Well, I'm goin to my hometown<br />

Sorry baby, I can't take it all<br />

I have to walk<br />

<br />

Only got one ticket<br />

Good God I can't afford two<br />

The day I left, I had shoes upon my feet<br />

The day I left, I had shoes upon my feet<br />

Got home again, honey<br />

Don't even have nothin' to eat, oh yeah<br />

<br />

Hey, goin' to my hometown, yeah<br />

Yeah, and I don't care, have to walk<br />

Yeah, goin' to my hometown<br />

And I don't care, have to walk<br />

<br />

I gotta move down, baby<br />

No more time to talk, no, no, no<br />

<br />

Yeah, I'm goin' to my hometown<br />

And I'm leaving on the midnight train, yeah<br />

Goin' to my hometown, baby<br />

I'm leaving on the midnight train<br />

<br />

Gotta keep on ramblin', yeah<br />

Goe back to from where I came<br />

<br />

I'm goin to my hometown<br />

Goin' to my hometown<br />

Goin' to my hometown<br />

Goin' to my hometown<br />

<br />

Do you wanna go?<br />

Do you wanna go?<br />

Do you wanna go?<br />

Do you wanna go?<br />

<br />

I got up against this<br />

The cats and strangers walkin'<br />

Is much to slow, yeah
