Lyrics
Thumbin' My Way Home
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One suitcase a heartache and a roadmap I'm headin' east just out of San Antone
Comin' my way home to West Virginia they're wonderin' why I stayed away so long
Got a letter from mama in my pocket she wrote to tell me dad had done passed all
One suitcase a heartache and a roadmap a lonely man just thumbin' my way home
Thumbin' my way home to West Virginia a broken heart inside a lonesome man
Maybe I can help to ease mom's heartaches and I'll try to help her understand
Gonna take the job that dad left in the coalmines
And stay with mom so she won't belong
I'll make up for ten long years of roamin' that's why I'm thumbin' my way home
Yes that's why I'm thumbin' my way home
