Rory Gallagher - Going To My Hometown lyrics

rate me

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

Daddy's in the backyard,"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 />

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 />

Let me tell you where I'm going to . . .<br />

<br />

Yes I'm going to my home town,<br />

I don't care ever even if I have to walk.<br />

Yes I'm going to my home town,<br />

I don't care even if I have to walk.<br />

I gotta move on now baby, I got no more time left to talk.<br />

<br />

Yes I'm going to my home town,<br />

Sorry but I can't take you.<br />

Yes I'm going to my home town,<br />

Sorry but I can't take you.<br />

Only got one ticket, you know I just can't afford two.<br />

Take me home.<br />

<br />

The day I left,<br />

You know the rain was pouring down.<br />

The day I left,<br />

You know the rain was pouring down.<br />

I'm going home again baby,<br />

I believe the sun's gonna come on out.<br />

Let's go home, boy, let's go home.<br />

<br />

Yes I'm going to my home town,<br />

You know baby I gotta go.<br />

Going to my home town,<br />

You know I just have to go.<br />

I really love you, woman,<br />

I'll see you in a year, maybe no, maybe yes.<br />

<br />

Going to my home town,<br />

I'm going to my home town,<br />

Going to my home town,<br />

Going to my home town.
