Full moon risin` over Atlanta
And I`m fourteen stories high
Lookin` down on a street full of people
Just like bees in a hive
Lord sometimes I feel just like a number
Like somebody lost my name
I just couldn`t wait to get here to the city
Now I can`t remember why I came
Chorus:
And the road home keeps on gettin` longer
Old friends and yesterday`s are further away
And that old home grown felling`s gettin` stronger
Sayin` I`m gonna be a goner if I don`t go back someday
Cattails growin` down by the river
So crystal clear in my mind
And there`s a song that I still remember
Sung by the wind in the pines
Lord the people ain`t never in a hurry
Ain`t never bothered by time
They just take their troubles and all of their worries
And hang `em on the end of a fishin` line
Chorus (times three)
Sayin` I`m gonna be a goner if I don`t go back someday
