(Way down home way down home)
I got to pack and go going back where I come from
And the folks I really know
Down home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)
I got to say goodbye
How I miss the taste of Grandma's potato pie
And the pretty girls come in bunches
And they never treat you wrong
Down home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)
Watermelon (Watermelon) costs but a dime (Watermelon)
And the fish by the river
They jump they jump on your line
I got to go you see
City life can never take the country out of me
So I'm going back where I come from
And I never gonna roam
From home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)
(Watermelon costs but a dime)
And the fish down by the river
Jump on your line
I got to go you see
Anyone who asks for me
Tell them I have gone back home
Gonna fall back with that living
And I'm never gonna roam
From home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)
Down home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)
Down home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)
