Flying South

(Cindy Walker)



Summer's gone and wintertime's a comin'

And where I am ain't where I wanna be

I can hear my southern home a callin'

And it's callin' out that old wide goose and me.



I got kids and kin down in Kentucky

I got lots of aunts in Alabam

Mom's a waitin' down in Mississippi

and my sist's in Carolina's honey land.



Flyin', flyin' south to Dixie

Lord I've been so lonesome and alone

Stayin' ain't no use because my heart's an old wild goose

And so tomorrow I'll be flyin' south for home.

Grandma and grandpa's down in Georgia

And my sweetheart's down in Tennessee

There's a little part of all the southland in my heart

And honey in the south is where I wanna be.



Summer's gone and wintertime's a comin'

And where I am ain't where I wanna be

I can hear my southern home a callin'

And it's callin' out that old wide goose and me.



Flyin', flyin' south to Dixie

Lord I've been so lonesome and alone

Stayin' ain't no use because my heart's an old wild goose

And so tomorrow I'll be flyin' south for home.



And tomorrow I'll be flyin' south for home...
