Well, I'm a homsick boy
Been away from home too long
I'm a homesick boy
Been away from home too long
Ever since I left,
Things been goin' down wrong
My guitar is my partner,
And the highway is my friend
My guitar is my partner
And the highway is my friend
If I could make it back baby,
This loneliness will end
I was a fool for leavin'
But I guess this will be my fate
I was a fool for leavin'
But I guess this will be my fate
You never know how good you've got it,
'Til it's much too late
I like 90 proof whiskey, 14 carat gold
I like 90 proof whiskey, 14 carat gold
But I need a hunderd proof woman
To satisfy my lonesome soul
Yes I do
I'm a homesick boy
Been away from home too long
I'm a homesick boy
Been away from home too long
Ever since I left,
Things been goin' down wrong
