First Verse
Driving on the freeway to Alabama
Going to Birmingham
Back to where the people really care
Will be so glad when I get there
Second Verse
Mama and papa will be there to meet me
Kiss on the cheek and a firm hand shake
It’s been so long since I have seen them
Now that I’m back I gonna stay.
Chorus
We had all the thing I like for dinner
Chicken corn bread and turnip greens
Candid yams and black eyed peas
And for desert an apple pie right off the tree.
There’s nothing better than a country home coming
Family and friends will be there
Guitar picking girl friend kissen
Drinking white lightning where no one cares.
Instrumental
Ending Verse
Mama and papa was there to meet me
Kiss on the cheek and a firm hand shake
It’s been so long since I have seen them
Now that I’m back I gonna stay.
