Matter how hard I try I just can't get it right I'm trying to make a brand new friend And everybody trying to fight It ain't easy, it ain't fair Is the world so messed up Am I the only one to care? So much love that I'm willing to share, alright, yeah I've got it right here So many things that I'm trying to do right Trying to make friends But everyone wanna fight Matter how hard I try I just can't get it right Working from early in the morning Up until the edge of night I guess I'll go back home Where a country boy belong I've been so many places City from town to town Looking for a real good woman They all seem to turn me down I'm looking for a Louisiana girl To put into my place So when I wake up in the morning There'd be a smile on her face I guess I'll go back home Where a country boy belong Ooh, belong And I'll tell you one more thing I'm used to dealing with doubt Should I be in the big city? You know my money's running out Cost too much for a hamburger And they want too much for fries You better not talk to the big leg woman 'Cause they want too much for the thigh I guess I'll go back home, yeah, go back home I guess I'll go back home Where a country boy belong Oh, going home, take it home now
