Sit by the river I pick my toes
I pick my fingers might pick my nose
I'm going home once again
I'm going home once again all alone

Ain't got no money
Ain't got no job
Ain't got no gun
Guess I can't rob
I'm going home once again
I'm going home once again all alone

Drink down the whiskey
Drink down the bar
just walk away
gonna leave my car
I'm going home once again
I'm going home once again all alone

Could be a prince
I'm just a frog
sweet girl come kiss me
I'll be your dog
I'm going home once again
I'm going home once again all alone

In a western Kentucky town a little boy runs around
plays in the dirt and corn no shoes and pants are worn
he dreams, little boys do
he dreams of the day he might meet you

Off in the world he goes buys him some city clothes
learns the things he don't know
he watches the neon glow
the world just makes him blue
and he still dreams of the day he might meet you

Sit by the river I pick my toes
I pick my finger gonna pick my nose
I'm going home once again
I'm going home once again all alone
