mandoline chords, but sounds good on guitar to Mama's in the kitchen baking up a pie, Daddy's in the backyard,"Get a job, son, You know you ought a try". Well I packed up my bag, I headed down the road, I got me a job from Henry Ford. But I made a mistake, I moved much too far And now I know what the lonesome blues are . . . I`m getting lonesome, I'm getting blue, I need someone to talk to. I`m getting lonesome, I'm getting blue, Let me tell you where I'm going to . . . Yes I'm going to my home town, I don't care ever even if I have to walk. Yes I'm going to my home town, I don't care even if I have to walk. I gotta move on now baby, I got no more time left to talk. Yes I'm going to my home town, Sorry but I can't take you. Yes I'm going to my home town, Sorry but I can't take you. Only got one ticket, you know I just can't afford two. Take me home. The day I left, You know the rain was pouring down. The day I left, well the rain was pouring down. Well I'm going home again baby, I believe the sun's gonna come on out. Let's go home, boy, let's go home. Yes I'm going to my home town, You know baby I gotta go. Going to my home town, You know I just have to go. I really love you, woman, I'll see you in a year, maybe no, maybe yes. Going to my home town, I'm going to my home town, Going to my home town, Going to my home town. (fade out)

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque le désir profond de retrouver ses racines et la nostalgie qui accompagne le départ de chez soi. Le protagoniste se souvient des moments simples avec sa famille, comme sa mère qui prépare une tarte, tout en faisant face à la réalité du monde du travail. Après avoir tenté sa chance loin de chez lui, il se rend compte que la solitude et le blues le hantent, et il ressent un besoin urgent de retourner dans sa ville natale. Le contexte est celui d’un voyage émotionnel, où le retour aux sources devient essentiel. Malgré les défis et le fait qu'il ne puisse pas emmener son amante avec lui, il est déterminé à retrouver ce qui lui est cher, symbolisé par son enfance et la promesse de jours meilleurs que le soleil finira par apporter. C’est un appel à la nostalgie et à l'identité, teinté d'une douce mélancolie.
