Well I've been from Boston to LA Seen Boulder Dam and Frisco Bay I seen New York City and Washington Seen Montreal and Saskatchewan And Rhode Island And I've worked in three all night service stations And I drove a truck                   Take me home My heart is heavy and my feet are sore Take me home     I don't wanna roam no more Well I slept all night in a water trough Had the flu and the croup and the whoopin' cough Had the mumps and the measles and the seven years itch And I can't count the times that I've had a cold And a sore throat Not to mention all the times that I cut my fingers On a sardine can (Refrain) Well I can just see 'em all now just a gatherin' round Mama's supper table when the sun goes down And my good old pappy when the blessing is said Fillin' up his plate with black eyed peas and all that stuff And side meat And a great big hunk of my dear sweet mama's Hot buttered cornbread (Refrain)

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque un voyage à travers plusieurs villes et paysages, mais au fond, elle exprime un profond désir de retrouver son chez-soi. Le narrateur a parcouru de nombreuses distances et a fait face à des jours difficiles, avec des épreuves de santé et des moments de solitude. Tous ces souvenirs le ramènent à la simplicité et à la chaleur des repas partagés avec sa famille, où il se sentait en sécurité et aimé. C’est un cri du cœur pour revenir à ses racines, un endroit où il se sent vraiment à sa place, loin des tracas du monde.
