Intro chords:
twice
Oh, babe I hate to leave you here down in this one horse town
Where the train runs through the your early morning dreams, just leave that old wailin sound
Oh, but I m coming back, I will return, now women you wait for me
I m bound to travel the USA from the desert unto the sea
I v got another song about the South you know its white now and its black
They re ain t banjo on my knee, but that song is still on my back
Hey, it s a long, long way to Hollywood
And it s a short, short chance for fame
All them slicks keep talkin back home
But I make it just the same
Oh, I ll make it just the same
I ve got a new song for all them people hovering down in the Georgia night
Lord I know they re wings are heavy now cause they ve been on a lonesome flight
All them poor old depression people, babe, you know they took a heavy load
All the children, kinfolks, cousins too still walking down Tobacco Road
Well they still tell me bout Hank Williams, Lord, their clinging unto his fame
I m from the same race, I m from the same place, got the same lonesome blood in my veins
Chorus
