Lyrics

Winter's gone and summertime's a coming and where I am ain't where I wanna be
I can hear my southern home a calling and it's calling out the old wild goose and me
Flying flying south to dixie lord I been so lonesome and alone
Stayin' ain't no use because my heart's an old wild goose
And tomorrow I'll be flying south and home
[ brass ]
I've got kids and kin down in kentucky I've got lots of aunts in alabam
Mom's a waitin' down in mississippi and my sist's in carolina's honey land
Grandma and grandpa's down in georgia and my tootsie's back in tennessee
There's a little part of southland in my heart
And honey in the south is where I wanna be
[ brass ]
Way back home in nashville tennessee
[ brass ]
With the nashville brass is where I wanna be
