Going Back Home Lyrics - The Blues - Howlin' Wolf

First I planned to stay but I can't live this way 

I'm going back home where I was born 

Try to understand I think this city's grand 

But with all its charms give me a little country farm 

I'm going back home where I was born 

Oh yeah now, oh yeah, oh yeah now, oh yeah 

I tell you all about it, I think you ought to know 

Tell you all about it why I wanna go 

I miss the country preacher and the house of prayer 

I miss the bootlegger smelling in the air 

Miss friendly faces and the country smiles 

The crickets singing, you can hear it for miles 

I miss the rooster crowing at the break of dawn

Yes it all happens where I was born 

Miss the fried chicken, colored greens 

Miss the hot biscuits and the Lima beans 

Miss the prayer meetings where people pray 

With the drum beating till the break of day 

You can have it, you can have it 

You can have it, you can have it 

You can have the town, I won't be around 

This here life's too fast but 'll never, never last 

I'm going back home where I was born 

I got to go home, got to go home 

Photos 

Where the people are real, where people can feel 

Got to go down, got to go down 

Leave here today on my way so long, so long 

Going back home, going back home 

Got to go home, got to go home 

Got to go home, got to go home 

Where I, where I was born 

First I planned to stay but I can't live this way 

I'm going back home where I was born
