Mama?s cornbread is in the pan
I think I taste it from where I stand
Well, I?ve been away so long
Sure be nice to go back home

Dad?s got the game on in the den
Maybe someday his team will win
Yells at the TV from his chair
That?s what he did when I was there

Back home
That little town?s still in my bones
It?s a long way down that two lane road
Sure be nice to go back home

Anna was as warm as summertime
Sweet as honeysuckle on the vine
All those nights down by the river
Man, it doesn?t get any better

I don?t? know what went wrong
High school ends; people move on
I heard she still lives in town
Two kids and a house by the old playground

Chorus:

The tank?s full of gas
The trunk?s all packed
I heard you can?t go back
That?s true I know, but I?m still gotta go?

Chorus:
