I'm Coming Back Home To Stay

[ Don Rich ]
Well we just passed county line be home about a half past nine
See the friends that I once knew I gotta lotta much to do
Have a piece of apple pie see the happy tear in her eye
And I never more go away I'm coming back home to stay
Well I really been kicked around lived it up and I've lived it down
Roped the grapes up in Buffalo been trailin' down to Tupelo
But before all my runnin' bound happiness I just never found
Made up my mind last Saturday that I'm coming back home to stay
Well we just passed...
[ steel ]
When I left with a lotta dreams I was really gonna spread my wings
Show the homefolks a thing or two show 'em what a country boy could do
But it didn't take long to see the city life wasn't life for me
But come naturally that's okay cause I'm a coming back home to stay
Well we just passed...
I never more go away cause I'm coming back home to stay
Well we just passed county line be home about a half past nine
See the friends that I once knew I gotta lotta much to do
Have a piece of apple pie see the happy tear in her eye
And I never more go away I'm coming back home to stay
Well I really been kicked around lived it up and I've lived it down
Roped the grapes up in Buffalo been trailin' down to Tupelo
But before all my runnin' bound happiness I just never found
Made up my mind last Saturday that I'm coming back home to stay
Well we just passed...
[ steel ]
When I left with a lotta dreams I was really gonna spread my wings
Show the homefolks a thing or two show 'em what a country boy could do
But it didn't take long to see the city life wasn't life for me
But come naturally that's okay cause I'm a coming back home to stay
Well we just passed...
I never more go away cause I'm coming back home to stay
