Thumbing for a ride by the edge of the road
With a brown paper bag to hold my clothes
But tonight i'm going home where i belong
If the good lord's willing and the creek don't rise
And if my luck holds out, and i catch me a ride
When the sun goes down tomorrow, i should be home
This big city ain't no kind of place
For a country girl with a friendly face
If you smile people look at your funny, they take it wrong
They laugh at my talkin' and clothes i wear
They put me down and they call me square
But tonight i'm going home where i belong

Chorus:

I'm goin' back to the people i love
Back to the place that i dream of
It's true that there's no place like home sweet home
The one i want to see the most
Is the boy who begged me not to go
When the sun goes down tomorrow

Tonight i'm going back where i belong
