well it sure is hot and my clothes are sticking to me.
theres nothing out here but blowing dust as far as i can see
i got strapped on my back everything i own
but i know everything will be alright when i get back home
the cars keep passing me by but i really dont care
for two weeks now i been walking this road living on luck and prayer
it's the longest that i been away and gone
but i know it'll be alright when i get back home
back home, theres good ole country cooking
and those i love, will be waiting there for me
sure got dark and i think i saw some lightning in that cloud
i just heard heel of thunder, boy it sure was loud
this is the hardest kind of walk i've ever known
but i know it'll be alright when i get back home
back home. theres good ole mama's cookin
and those i love will be waiting there for me
the rain keeps a coming down in sheets and my clothes are soaking wet
the run offs getting deeper but i aint drowning yet
the poor rain really chills me to the bone
but i know it'll be alright when i get back home
yeah i know it'll be alright when i get back home
