Johnny Cash Take Me Home Lyrics

Take Me Home Lyrics

Well, I've been from Boston to L.A.

Seen Boulder Dam and Frisco Bay

I seen New York City and Washington



Seen Montreal and Saskatchewan and Rhode Island

And I've worked in three all night

Service stations and I drove a truck



Take me home, my heart is heavy and my feet are sore

Take me home, I don't wanna roam no more



Well, I slept all night in a water trough

Had the flu and the croup and the whoopin' cough

Had the mumps and the measles and the seven years itch



And I can't count the times

That I've had a cold and a sore throat

Not to mention all the times

That I cut my fingers on a sardine can



Take me home, my heart is heavy



Well, I can just see 'em all now just a gatherin' 'round

Mama's supper table when the sun goes down

And my good old pappy when the blessing is said



Fillin' up his plate with black eyed peas

And all that stuff and side meat

And a great big hunk of my dear sweet mama's

Hot buttered cornbread



Take me home, my heart is heavy

Take me home, my heart is heavy
