Thumbin' My Way Home Lyrics - Roy Drusky

One suitcase a heartache and a roadmap I'm headin' east just out of San Antone 

Comin' my way home to West Virginia they're wonderin' why I stayed away so long 

Got a letter from mama in my pocket she wrote to tell me dad had done passed all 

One suitcase a heartache and a roadmap a lonely man just thumbin' my way home 

Thumbin' my way home to West Virginia a broken heart inside a lonesome man 

Maybe I can help to ease mom's heartaches and I'll try to help her understand 

Gonna take the job that dad left in the coalmines 

And stay with mom so she won't belong 

I'll make up for ten long years of roamin' that's why I'm thumbin' my way home 

Yes that's why I'm thumbin' my way home
