Lyrics

I've been feelin' down in atlanta
Immobile in alabam
I'd rather be in traction
Than to be here where I am
Oh, you georgia red clay
And green virginia pines
I've got to make it home somehow
Before I lose my mind

So won't you carry me back to california
I've been on the road too long
Take me to the west coast, daddy
And let me be where I belong

Hey now, philly, you street city
Been down by the railroad track
I know you can be a sweet city
But I won't soon be back
Haystack towns and smokestack cities
Are nothin' I want to see
My own house on high ground
Is the only place I want to be

So won't you carry me back to california
I've been on the road too long
Take me to the west coast, daddy
And let me be where I belong
