lyrics

Sittin' down on the farm, doin' nobody harm,
I'm just watchin' grass grow all day.
Sittin' out in the rain, thinkin' 'bout that train,
wishin' it would come in and take me away.

Because home don't feel like home, I get'a away.
Ah when home don't feel like home, you gotta get away.

A guitar pickin' boy, who wants to be employed,
he's tired of eatin' meal from a can.
He got stars in his eyes. He wants to cross the T's and dot the I's.
He wants to hit the big city and become a man.

Because home don't feel like home, I get'a away.
Ah when home don't feel like home, you gotta get away.

A construction worker man, tired of workin' with his hands,
and workin' for a boss who barely knows his name.
So he cleans himself with a rag, and he packs himself a bag,
he's goin' home back from where he came.

Because home don't feel like home, I get'a away.
Ah when home don't feel like home, you gotta get away.
