Lord the people ain't never in a hurry
Like somebody lost my name
And hang 'em on the end of a fishin' line
I just couldn't wait to get here to the city
Sayin' I'm gonna be a goner if I don't go back someday
Sayin' I'm gonna be a goner if I don't go back someday
Old friends and yesterday's are further away
Sung by the wind in the pines
Old friends and yesterday's are further away
So crystal clear in my mind
Lookin' down on a street full of people
And the road home keeps on gettin' longer
And that old home grown felling's gettin' stronger
Sayin' I'm gonna be a goner if I don't go back someday
And that old home grown felling's gettin' stronger
And there's a song that I still remember
Ain't never bothered by time
And the road home keeps on gettin' longer
Sayin' I'm gonna be a goner if I don't go back someday
And that old home grown felling's gettin' stronger
And the road home keeps on gettin' longer
Cattails growin' down by the river
Old friends and yesterday's are further away
And that old home grown felling's gettin' stronger
And the road home keeps on gettin' longer
Now I can't remember why I came
Old friends and yesterday's are further away
Just like bees in a hive
Lord sometimes I feel just like a number
They just take their troubles and all of their worries
