[ Featuring His Hot Licks, Dan Hicks ]
I long to go back where the space is wider
To ride on horseback and roll my own smokes
Longing to go back where people seem politer
To say hello, and evening I'll go
I've been away so long, I think this is the right road
But it's changed so much, I know for sure
Yes, the day will come when I'll be on the right road
I'm saying hello, and evening I'll go
I can send off a letter to 'em but that would leave no surprise
No, I got to wait, wait for that look in their eyes
And I'll sit by the creek where the water runs cool and I know I'll have such a good time
I'm sayin' hello, and evening I'll go
(I can smell the coffee) the coffee brewing
I'll take mine black, you know it's good, it's good to be back
Go on and tell me (how, folks) you folks been doing?
I'm saying hello, and evening I'll go
Hey Bill won't you tell me when that train does stop
I want to get off and say hello to a couple of people I think I still know
And I ain't one to mince my words, I'll take a piece of that cake that they make
I can't be late, you got to get what's on the plate
(I can smell the coffee) the coffee brewing
I'll take mine black, you know it's good, it's good to be back
Go on and tell me (how, folks) you folks been doing?
I'm saying hello, and evening I'll go
Hey Bill won't you tell me when that train does stop
I want to get off and say hello to a couple of people I think I still know and I do-do
And I ain't one to mince my words, I'll take a piece of that cake that they make
I can't be late, you got to get what's on the plate, yodel-ey-hee-hoo, yodel-ey-hee-hoo
Yodel-ey-hee-hoo
Yodel-ey-hee-hoo
I'm saying hello, and evening I'll go
Give me some room, you can't do it too soon
