Thinkin' back to Macon, where I spent a lot of time
Hangin' down on Cherry Street, cruisin' on Riverside
Grant's Place was the place to be, I'd love to play on that stage
Headin' back to Macon, if I can find a way
Left for those city lights and tried to find my way
Each neon sign I saw led me astray
Big House keeps on callin' me where the brothers used to play
Headin' back to Macon, to find myself some grace
Headin' back to Macon, where the blues are deep and true
Where the echoes of my past sing a song for you
From Hummingbird's sweet whisper to the Rookery's warm embrace
I'm headin' back to Macon, to find my soul a place
Suitcase full of heartache and a weary old mind
I'll walk those old streets one final time
Back to the heart of Georgia, where my journey meets its end
I'm headin' back to Macon, cause the blues is my best friend
Headin' back to Macon, where the blues are deep and true
Echoes of my yesterday sing a song for you
Rose Hill she's a-callin' and a hope she welcomes me
I'm headin' back to Macon, headin' back to Macon
To find my soul some peace
