lyrics
Well I'm packing up my duffel, take a train southbound
It's a long way to Memphis, I can hear the sound
Of them wheels under my feet
Taking me from my hometown
From them Blue Ridge mountains my home's
Just a few hundred miles away
A city boy I's born, and a city boy I'll die
But in them Carolina hills I long to stay
I'm trading in my takeout for a home cooked meal
I've been trapped up in towers concrete and steel
For so long
Half a lifetime, it feels
Chorus
It's a long way to Memphis, I can hear the sound
Of them wheels under my feet
Taking me from my hometown
From them Blue Ridge mountains my home's
Just a few hundred miles away
A city boy I's born, and a city boy I'll die
But in them Carolina hills I long to stay
I'm trading in my takeout for a home cooked meal
I've been trapped up in towers concrete and steel
For so long
Half a lifetime, it feels
Chorus
